Re: jsambulant 0.1 code

Hi Jack -- those are excellent candidates, specifically:

1. Dispatch an event onto SMIL to start it running
2. Have SMIL dispatch events on outside elements
3. Have SMIL write to Ubiquity data model

These three are probably more interesting in the short-term than video per
se...I'll write up an example markup fragment over the next week or 10 days
to suggest what could be useful to have...Thanks!  Charlie

      Thanks, Jack! I'll take a look and send some thoughts on how we can

Specifically, if there's functionality you need that isn't there right now:
let me know. For example, event-based begin (or end) times aren't
implemented right now, if you really need them I could try adding them. And
the other way around: you may need a way to have the SMIL emit an event.
SMIL according to the specs doesn't have that, but we could probably borrow
something from another namespace (but you'll have to tell me what to borrow
from where). SMIL State is another thing that isn't implemented, but that
you might want. I could probably implement the output side (i.e. SMIL
injecting values into the model) fairly easily.
