The problem with this suggestion is that the duration between the start 
and end time is not fully known.

For example, the duration between 00:00 and 03:00 is normally 3 hours, 
but could be 2 or 4 depending on DST cutover. Writing a method as you 
suggest, would be making an assumption in exactly the same way that you 
make the assumption by adding new Instant(0).
