XProc and SMIL: Orchestrating Pipelines

Earlier this week I posted a short article about orchestrating XProc pipeline steps using SMIL Timesheets:

As mentioned in there I'm going to be pulling together some potential uses-cases and illustrating them using SVG and/or SMIL.

I have one question for now, I was wondering why the max and min attributes were missing from the Timesheet spec. The max attribute would seem to be a very useful feature for providing time-outs for processes that might take an unacceptable amount of time.
