Re: SVG animate values format

Hi Jeff,

After going back through the minutes and agenda items of the past 
telephone conferences I don't think there has been an SVG WG decision on 
this yet.

We should make it a priority for discussion at the next telephone 
conference.

Thanks for chasing that up.
