Hello, of course, this interval is rejected, because it is bad, but there are other times, that have to be added to the end list, to determine with begin and dur a correct simple duration and begin and repeatDur to determine active duration including repetition. Just this value of the end attribute is meaningless, if the begin is later as end. In the audio example dur is determined by the media itself with an implicit end, therefore even there is no difference to the svg animation example. It is just pseudo code and begin+dur or begin+repeatDur generate further 'end's in the list. There is more than one time in the end list and therefore there are some 'good intervals' to care about.
