Thanks...

Then it can be done in another way too by authors and implementors?

This sounds very vague, but this can be assumed to be solved, if
this is specified in general, see last point in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-smil/2007OctDec/0048.html

It would be possible for the viewer to convert all of them to unitless values, 
see the suggestions in (the as informative styled) 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-SMIL3-20070713/smil-animation.html#animationNS-AnimationFunctionValueDetails

In this specific case this still works pretty good, because all values
describe a length somehow (for example in SVG fill and stroke may contain 
both interpolable values or URI/IRI of paint servers like gradients, a mixture
cannot be converted to something  interpolable in general, but this is a SVG
problem, nothing to care about in SMIL).

But it is ok too, to exclude this as a simplification for implementors, but 
then it should not be noted as informative?
