Re: Is this really XHTML+SMIL?

Peter, 

I hesitate to enter the fray on this, but here are a few tips that may
help:
 a) XHTML+SMIL is a profile name, HTML+TIME is a product name.
 b) HTML+TIME 1.0 was significantly different than XHTML+SMIL,
    this mostly due to the fact that SMIL 2 (on which XHTML+SMIL is
    based) was not finished. You may be reading old 'time' docs.
 c) HTML+TIME for SMIL 2.0 (or time2, as MS also calls it), has been
    available since IE-5.5 and is reasonably stable in IE-6.
 d) Our GRiNS/2-Pro authoring environment creates both SMIL Language
    profile output (for RealOne and our own GRiNS player) and
XHTML+SMIL.
    I've attached two documents, one in each profile, to give you an
    idea how the two differ in syntax but are similar in structure.
 e) Nobody else support XHTML+SMIL at the moment, as far as I know.

You may want to try to search the MS knowledge base for 'time2'.

Happy reading,
Dick Bulterman
