Latest SMIL-DOM

Hi,

I have been reading the SMIL DOM Working Draft 25 February, 2000,
(URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/smil-boston-dom/)
and it seems quite old. Do you have a newer version available?
Also, the spec doesn't seem to be complete.

For instance, I found that interface SMILAnimation has been
inherited from ElementTime and ElementTimeControl, which both
have beginElement() method. The question is, which one should
be used (although, they probably function the same way).

Also, SMILMediaElement has transport, port and rtpformat attributes,
which are not mentioned in the spec at all.

Some elements seem to be missing, such as <par> and <seq>.
I could be possible to use ElementSequentialTimeContainer interface,
but it has not been inherited from SMILElement, and thus doesn't
implement any required attributes, such as id...

I noticed the ElementTimeManipulation module interface there. Is this
module going to be part of the SMIL 2.0 language profile and the DOM or
is it optional? 

Again, how are you going to define links between the interfaces for 
different profiles? You have specified getMarked() method for
Time interface, but what if the implementation doesn't implement
the MediaClipMarkers Module? Should the implementation always
implement the whole DOM for all modules, or can only a subset
be implemented?
