Note that the latest version of the OpenType spec has the following language in it:
"Some implementations may support use of animations—either SVG animation or CSS animation. Note that support for animation is optional and is not recommended in fonts intended for wide distribution."

I would support (with much fanfare!) dropping this feature!!

Among the various implementations of SVG-in-OpenType, how widely supported is animation of the SVG glyphs?

Is this a feature that people consider valuable, or should we consider dropping it in the interests of simplification and greater uniformity across implementations?
