About scripting in SMIL 2...
 
There has been some talks about scripting in SMIL, but I just noticed
that SMIL 2.0 Language profiles (basic or full) don't support scripting,
ie. the script element or attribute hasn't been defined. Still, scripting
is mentioned in several parts in the spec (in Animation and Prefetch
modules).
 
Is the intention not to allow scripting, if SMIL is the host language?
Of course, language profiles HTML+TIME and others have the script
element.
 
It would be nice to have a possibility for scripting, maybe an optional
module, Script Module?
