 5.  Handling time in Annodex format bitstream
 
+   With time-continuous data like Annodex, one needs to handle data at
+   four different levels:
+   o  at the bytes level, upon seeking.
+   o  at the packets level, upon encapsulating.
+   o  at the granules level, upon recompositing.
+   o  at the time level, upon displaying and addressing.
+   This section explains how they all fit together.
