I must confess that I'm not sure wether I understand what your goal is. A user gets a document from a server (right?). He makes some changes to the document and then saves it again to the server (right?). You keep track of the editing time in the document and update it when the document is closed. Now you want to store this updated time to the document on the server but of course without any changes that meanwhile have been applied to the document because obviously the user wants to discard them (right?). Why don't you update the editing time when the document is stored by the user instead of waiting until he closes the document? In this case the correct time gets stored along with all the changes the user wants. Of course you will not keep track of the time that the user works on the document but then discards his work, but do you want to count this time? And are you really sure that the OOo internal editing time isn't good enough for you? If you can use the OOo internal counter it will be stored each time anyway and you don't need to do anything on your side.
