yes, good question. AFAIK, accurate positioning is not very well  
supported. there is a similar issue for the edit and playhead cursors, as  
well as region bounds -- they can be incremented and decremented in the  
time displays (or region editor for regions), but not by any smaller  
increments than a frame - you can't enter an arbitrary value.

if you're happy with that level of accuracy, you can set an edit cursor  
and then snap to it. for that matter, you can simply set one of the  
time-based snap-to options, and the range bounds will respect that, but  
you are limited again to single frame accuracy.

someone please correct me if i'm wrong!
