I'm not sure that I understand your point. (The type of dependency *is* mentioned in the Charter.) I wonder, should the document mention somewhere (SoTD? Intro? ...) that declarative animation has been resolved as beyond the scope of 2.1? Or maybe should we mention that in review requests? Or are you suggesting that we say nothing at all? If I was in SMIL, I would wonder why we were being requested to review this project. Cheers, -Lofton.
