RE: Interval logic and multiple begins with negative offset

The first begin time of video 1 is precluded by the duration of par1, and so
is removed (pruned) as a valid interval. When it is removed, this is
propagated to dependents, and they must remove the initial begin as a valid
begin time instance.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/smil-timing.html#q86

And in particular the verbiage:

"...When an interval is pruned, it will not be shown, it will not raise
begin or end events, and any associated instance times for syncbase time
dependents must be removed from the respective instance times lists. It is
as though the pruned interval had not been specified.
..."
