Start time (what format?)
End time (what format?)
Duration (seconds.microseconds? Or some other format?)
All three are useful.
In general, you cannot leave out one and compute it from the others.
Provision for all of them, as optional. Downstream tools can decide what they want to do with them if there are discrepancies (such as when the accuracy or precision vary).
