I believe they wanted to change the aspect ratio, but they at least wanted to
read it.

The reasons to support it are given in the SMIL document -- they say it is
sometimes important for quality.

I explicitly do not have the expertise to judge that claim, but since the
working group made a specific note of the issue when reviewing an earlier
draft, we should probably record somewhere that we were aware of the request,
and explicitly chose simplicity rather than power (in this version/at this
time).
