Hi Henning,

I cannot give responsible answers, these are merely my personal

To incorporate Philipp's idea into XML spec, some group or person must
propose it to the XML Syntax WG. I don't know who should do that. SYMM
WG or Philipp?  If the WG accept the proposal, they will discuss about
it, and finally it goes through (or is killed).

The notion of SMIL validity is more than XML validity.  To express
the correct SMIL constraints, we should have more syntactical
facilities -- context sensitive content model (e.g. <switch>) is needed
as I mentioned, data-typing of attribute value (e.g. "begin" as a clock
value) is also required.  I believe the XML Schema WG will work out
the issues. By when? ... I cannot forecast.


Thank you,
