Re: W3C draft "Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language"

I agree with Lloyd's comments on the relationship between SMIL and HyTime. I'd
like to add that, in my opinion, it is far more realistic to implement a SMIL
browsers than to implement a generic HyTime browser with synchronized
multimedia capabilities. If SMIL browsers become widely available, SMIL might
be a simple and directly playable output format for more abstract, and richer
structured HyTime documents. All you need is a good style sheet to convert your
HyTime docs to SMIL :-)
