Dear Synchronized Multimedia Working Group, http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/PR-SMIL2-20050927/ section 2.3.1 has SMIL is an XML-based language and conforms to the (XML) DOM Core [DOM1], [DOM2]. In the future, a SMIL-specific DOM recommendation may specify support for timing and synchronization, media integration, and other synchronized multimedia functionality. A language profile may include DOM support. The granularity of DOM being supported corresponds to the modules being selected in that language profile. As with all modules, required support for the DOM is an option of the language profile. and in 10.6.3 SMIL Timing reserves four DOM methods for controlling the timing of elements: beginElement(), beginElementAt(), endElement(), and endElementAt(), and describes their effect on the timing model. Full definition of these methods is left to a future document describing DOM functionality. This was probably current and appropriate language for SMIL 2.0 First Edition, but as the SMIL Animation Recommendation got published shortly after SMIL 2.0 FE, that does not seem so anymore. The SMIL Animation Recommendation however has several errors concerning these interfaces, I think SMIL 2.1 should include the interface descriptions found in SMIL Animation and update them as appropriate. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
