Re: Fwd: [Reminder] Last Call Working Draft of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0)

The reason that have asked us in particular to review is that it uses  
XForms semantics to define state. Here are some examples:

     <smil>
      <head>
       <state>
          <data xmlns="">
           <lastPlayed>0</lastPlayed>
          </data>
       </state>
      </head>

    <seq>
        <audio src="chapter1.mp3" />
        <setvalue ref="lastPlayed" value="1" />
        <audio src="chapter2.mp3" />
        <setvalue ref="lastPlayed" value="2" />
        <audio src="chapter3.mp3" />
        <setvalue ref="lastPlayed" value="3" />
    </seq>
