Joe, without passing judgement on your basic assertion "Time comes in
durations", you must be aware that web requests, like most other events in
computing, are not ever logged as durations, but as instants. Unless you
intend to win over the writers and administrators of every web server on
the planet, we're going to have to damn well DEAL with them as events, not
durations.
