Win8 periodic tile notifications - shorter than half hour?

The PeriodicUpdateRecurrence enumeration has 5 values, from half an hour to daily. Does this mean you can't set any other (shorter) values?

Due to battery life concerns, intervals shorter than 30 minutes are not possible for periodic tile notifications. If your app tile needs to be updated in real-time, consider using push notifications.

The following Windows blog post provides details about battery life with respect to push notifications (which apply to periodic updates as well): http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/11/02/updating-live-tiles-without-draining-your-battery.aspx
