Dear Synchronized Multimedia Working Group, The publication of the SMIL 2.0 Second Edition Recommendation comes with a poor design choice to redirect from http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/ to <http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL2/>. This redirect however seems to be broken as e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/page-content.html redirects to http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL2/ rather than /TR/SMIL2/page-content.html as one would expect. This causes a number of links to SMIL 2.0 to be broken, the current SVG 1.2 Working Draft provides a number of examples. Further breakage is introduced for links to specific sections in SMIL 2.0 documents as noted in <http://www.w3.org/TR/cuap#cp-fragment>, links to such fragments will either not work properly or cause user agents to navigate to the desired location but not update the address bar as one would expect. Please either publish the SMIL 2.0 Second Edition Recommendation fully at http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/ such that requests to that location do not cause a redirect (i.e., return status 200) or at least fix the re- direct such that http://www.w3.org/TR/smil20/page-content.html works as expected. regards. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
