Oops! Sorry. Please accept my humble apology!

As a client, without reading the contracts, I would still simply
assume "duration" had the semantics of "canonical_duration". But ok,
now I know why it works like it does.

So far I've been timing seconds and milliseconds in command line
programs so it hasn't been a problem. But you are right of course.
I'll change that.

I've written small DS_TEST_CASE based test case for the class. Either
you give me write access to the SVN repository or I can send you a
small tarball with the code (2 classes and an ugly .ecf file).
