Hmmm, I'm not sure about this one. What clause are you looking at?
5.8.6.6.7 ("instr") says
The dispatch time of the new instrument event
is the sum of the current orchestra time and the
value of the first experession in the expression list, the
latter scaled by the current global tempo; the duration of
the new instrument event is the value of the second expression
in the expression list; ...
This says to me that the dispatch time is in beats, and implicitly,
since the units of duration are not mentioned, the duration should
be in beats also to match the durations as given in the score.
Best,
