SMIL is a good idea. At least part of its implementation within SVG is something the HTML community could benefit from. Thanks for letting me know a bit more of the background here. I'll hope to come up with a bit more concreteness to this notion later today. (I will also be a bit more careful when I refer to SMIL as a W3C recommendation, in the future.) >> 7. [patent of <canvas>] >Apple's statement said, translated to non-lawyer English, that they >wouldn't become a problem if this WG adopts <canvas>. Please re-read >Apple's statement. Oh... good! I like <canvas> better already. How nice it would be to have a legalese-to-English translator. I read the patent claim exactly backwards from its apparent meaning. Some sort of client-side graphics is crucial to be able to create "web applications." I'll try to comment further on my syntactic issues (#6) pertaining to <canvas> and <svg> later today. cheers, David Dailey
