An Idea for SMIL 3

Hello,

Lets give a person more control of the content, by allowing them to
create a presentation from selectable media. SMIL 3 would have a
new custom container that would accept the media objects chosen.

For example the a SMIL page would present the options:

par
image-1
image-2
image-3
audio-1
audio-2
audio-3
/par

if image-1, image-3, and audio-2 were clicked, they would become
the content of the new custom container.

custom
image-1
image-3
audio-2
/custom

Then the custom multimedia slideshow starts when played. For music
the choices could be different tracks of instruments, for movies
the choices of ratings, background music, or language.

VCR technology gave the viewer control of what and when to watch,
a custom container made from selected media objects would continue
in that path were the viewer can personalize their multimedia 
entertainment to make it more enjoyable. Just imagine :)
