Displaying real-time data in svg

     I would like to add a use case which you don't seem to have 
considered in your work:

     The case is about displaying variables in real time, e.g. the level 
of a liquid in a tank, the number of cars in a parking lot, the free 
space in a disk partition. The draft, as I read it, concentrates on 
contents read from files. Instead, in the present case, the graphics 
would be generated in real time by an application, whatever the means 
(embedded http server, cgi, fastcgi ...).

     In this case, precise duration of effects is not important; which 
matters is to render the /Access Units/ immediately after they have been 
sent by the server. The only information which needs to be transfered, 
in addition to standard svg, is the limits of the Access Units. It seems 
to me that it would be enough to create a tag, similar to <g>, which 
would define an Access Unit, or provide the attribute of Access Unit to 
a <g>.

     Thank-you for your attention.
