New SyncMedia draft

Hi all,

There’s a new draft online [1], Lars and I did some more cleanup work related to Ivan’s feedback (thanks again Ivan!). 

The biggest change is that we are defining SyncMedia as an XML format, for the following reasons:

- we don’t have the resources to maintain dual XML and JSON formats
- choosing a serialization format was a pending todo
- we felt the model was sufficiently developed and we were not receiving any more input about it

Issues 32, 37, 38, 44 have been closed [2] as a result.

The anticipated next steps are:

- address remaining issues [3]
- reformat use cases [4]
- create sample content
- continue work on demo implementation

Related to that last point, I have been working on both an object model/timegraph library and also a demo player. The library you can see in use here, to create a visual timegraph for a SyncMedia presentation [5].

The code, very much WIP, is nonetheless in our repository [6]. I’ve been working on it as time allows.
