Typically I have the problem to provide a text fallback content for abstract arts (graphical content) or for something like concrete poetry (mainly text with specific requirements of arrangement, timing, etc) or a combination of both. This can be done with a combination of external or internal SVG and a simpler (X)HTML alternative/additional text, somehow like concept art. I discussed this already with an accessibility expert years ago and this is more or less the conclusion and not really simple to realise. > It seems more natural to address that with CSS, more with SMIL animation or SMIL animation in SVG > such as the WebKit animation proposal: > > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2007Nov/0090.html > > I hope this helps a bit. There is a ready to implement solution from SMIL, called timesheets: http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-SMIL3-20070713/smil-timesheets.html To be used in HTML5 (not XHTML), I think there is unfortunately a requirement for such an 'alien container' similar as for directly embedded SVG - the known problem of having XML inside HTML5. I could not convince the authors/editors to do it completely externally as possible with CSS. However, there seems to be no problem for the XHTML variant. Someone provided already a script solution to show, how it could work.
