I think the reason why we chose milliseconds initially was that a number
of JavaScript APIs use milliseconds (setTimeout, setTimeinterval, the
timeout parameter in geolocation to name a few); but given that the name
duration matches exactly the one in HTML5, and given the stronger
relationship between these API and HTML5 MediaElement, I've switched
duration to be a float number in seconds.
