Re: SMIL Browser

Yes, members of the SYMM WG are actively working on SMIL implementations.

There is no such thing as an "XML browser". XML defines a set of 
conventions that allow you to define application-specific languages 
such as SMIL. This is similar to SGML, which is used to define HTML.

The relationship between XML and other languages is explained very
nicely in
