Re: Smil allowed formats

Laure

The Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 2.1) 
Recommendation includes the media declaration elements <ref>, 
<animation>, <audio>, <img>, <video>, <text>  and <textstream> but it 
does not specify the use of specific media formats.

It is the same as for the SVG or HTML Recommendations fro example, which 
do not mention that an SVG or HTML browser must support gif, jpeg, png, etc.
