That's not the case, since there is a difference between not applying 
animation elements at all versus rendering the glyph at time 0s.  For 
example:

   <g glyphid="1">
     <circle cx="10" cy="10" r="5">
       <animate attributeName="r" values="0; 10; 0" dur="2s"
                repeatCount="indefinite"/>
     </circle>
   </g>

For non-animated rendering situations, the circle would have radius 5, 
but in animated rendering situations the first frame of the animation 
would have radius 0.

Sorry about that; I only recently had time to put something together. 
Dirk tells me that Sairus will call in to our meeting.  We do not need 
to make any decisions this week -- it is more just to publicise our 
version of the proposal, and for us as a group to look at the 
differences between the two.  I'm hopeful we'll be able to resolve the 
differences. :)
