MPEG-2 TS metadata cue guidelines

CG,

Bug 25005<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25005> is about how to set endTime for MPEG-2 TS metadata text track cues. The issue is that there is no explicit endTime for these cues. I proposed<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25005#c4> setting the endTime to the startTime. The HTML5 editor doesn’t think this is a good idea<https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25005#c5>.

The reality is that it doesn’t really matter since the application understands, and acts on, the cue. So, an alternate proposal is to set the endTime = startTime + minDelta. Where minDelta = the minimum time so that the cue entry and exit handlers will operate properly vis-a-vis the  "time marches on” algorithm. Comments?
