ePub Restrictions on SVG 1.1

Hi, folks-

We might want to talk to the ePUB (ebook format) folks.  In their latest 
draft [1], they disallow SVG animations:

[[
2.3.3 Restrictions on SVG 1.1
...
The SVG Animation Elements must not occur.
]]

This could be a performance restriction, which is reasonable, but not 
ideal for electronic textbooks that may wish to have, say, animations of 
molecules or orbits, or something.
