With the 10-second max, I'd say the commercial break would be flagged as:
0:10:10-0:15:50
So we include 10 seconds at the beginning of the blank space that starts
the commercial break and 10 seconds a the end of the blank space that ends
the commercial break.

Sure, take your time. Unfortunately we got at this a little too late for
a feature freeze, and I can't justify this as a bug fix, so it will have
to wait until after 0.24 is released in a few weeks. Thanks for looking
into this and for being accomodating.
