Great Guillaume some progress....

so using a little of both duration could be marked up thus...

<span class="duration">
  <span class="h">1</span>: [1]
  <span class="min">3</span>: [2]
  <span class="s">42</span> [3]
</span>

Duration is marked up in a ISO 31-1 format  which is how durations and 
intervals should be marked up [4] as apposed to ISO 8601[5] for days and 
dates

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hour
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute
[3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second
[4] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_31-1
[5] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601


+1 from me on this proposal.

Thinking back Toby mentioned something  in an earlier post...

which is what got me thinking along those lines.

Thanks
