>> But in a time spread which is what you have when you sell a short term call against a leap you are looking for decay in the time value and do not want to be called.

I don't see where this differs from the objective when writing covered calls. In a CC of the buy-write variety, which is the best comparison to a calendar spread, I'd see surrendering the stock, as opposed to buying back the call, as the superior play in a flat or declining market. Why should that be any different for a calendar spread?
