In addition to what you identified, I also suspect that other factors can skew the "time spent on page" results. For example, people who spend lots of time on social networks or blogs. I'm sure many people go to their favorite sites and leave a browser window open on that page all day (but just go back to that page from time to time). The "engagement time" on that site may only be 15 minutes of actual interaction with the site during an entire day of "time spent" on that page. In addition, I don't know how RSS feed activity/engagement gets measured with todays tools and the effect of personal homepages like igoogle, myyahoo, netvibes, pageflakes, mymsn, etc., but I'm sure that also has an effect on how overall user activity on a site is currently reported.
