At which point you start heading back to "object". It seems we should either take the SMIL approach and make special containers for each kind of media (how many kinds?

Or interactive SVG with some audio?), or fix object... cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo espa?ol - je parle fran?ais - jeg l?rer norsk chaals at opera.com Try Opera 9.1 http://opera.com
