That could work too but makes the definition somewhat incompatible with the loss definition.
I don't understand the value of a relative waiting time as described above. It might be worth thinking about characterizing the time between arrival of the first packet and subsequent copies, but it would clearly be a secondary sort of metric w.r.t. the duplication itself.
Neither do I, I just said that I can write a definition like this but before I do so, I like to see some arguments why.
