This seems like a good idea, but perhaps is more than necessary. I believe execution time is commonly understood, and our goal has been to tighten up and use a better definition of time. There are some loose ends still there, but it would only take some format cleanup, removing the section from the time reference, and purging the last stray millisecond reference from the spec.
I created PR #426 for discussion. One advantage of this is that it addresses the "expressed as time" issue without new text in the algorithms.
The term "expiration time" is used multiple times in the algorithms (e.g., "If cdm has changed the expiration time of session...") yet there is no definition for it.
