IMHO the best thing would be (as in my previous suggestion)
to merge them completely, so that when you shorten a segment
you're setting the end marker, when you lengthen it you're
setting either the end marker (if it's still shorter than
the original duration) or the event-based duration, and when
you query the duration you get the end marker if it precedes
the last event.  I believe you almost never care when the
events end except for very specialised operations, what you
want when you call getDuration() etc is the end marker time
when appropriate.  So, anything else is going to be a bit
of a compromise anyway.

Still, whatever -- I probably won't be getting time to
implement & test it just now anyway.
