A bit more from Jeremy on @start and @stop. Question to Herve, is a 
datetime or time format more appropriate?

For documents (like PDF) that location can be part of the URL pointing to
it; I believe they support HTML-style anchoring like mydoc.pdf#location. For
multimedia, I'd say either have a DateTime for both the start and stop, or a
DateTime for the start and a TimeSpan for how long to play (TimeSpan could
just be seconds if there isn't an appropriate data format available to the
schema).
