The issue is that in SMIL the focusInEvent gets sent to a media item in the body section, not to a region in the layout section. In the layout section it would have made sense to have the focusInEvent bubble, but not in the body section: unlike HTML, where containment has (usually) some spatial correspondence, in SMIL a media node and its parent have no spatial relationship whatsoever. Note that this is all in the SMIL 2[.1] Language Profile, other profiles or languages that reuse SMIL timing but have a tree structure more like HTML than like SMIL should probably state that the events do bubble. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
