 Dear Richard Ishida ,

The SYMM Working Group has reviewed the comments you sent [1] on the Last
Call Working Draft [2] of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language

review the document and to send us comments!

The Working Group's response to your comment is included below.

Please review it carefully and let us know by email at www-smil@w3.org if
you agree with it or not before 02 nov 2007. In case of disagreement, you
are requested to provide a specific solution for or a path to a consensus
with the Working Group. If such a consensus cannot be achieved, you will be
given the opportunity to raise a formal objection which will then be
reviewed by the Director during the transition of this document to the next

Working Group Resolution:
Although not explicitly re-stated in the smilText modules, xml:lang is
defined for use within the Structure Module, and is thus available for use
within smilText. This will be made clear in the CR draft.
