Ed, Seeing as captured SRB time is attributed directly to the address the owning address space, why wouldn't you include SRB time in your billing. In fact CPU Time for billing nowadays usually includes IO interrupt time, RCT Time (swapping) and Hyperspace access.
I believe IBM has stayed with the original requirement for accounting records in z/OS and it's ancestors, that is if there is any ambiguity about the ownership of CPU time then ignore it, otherwise record it. That's why we have uncaptured.
