With SMIL (pronounced "smile"), authors create multimedia presentations 
and animations integrating streaming audio and video with graphics and 
text. Version 2.1 features include a new Mobile Profile and an Extended 
Mobile Profile with enhanced timing, layout and animation capabilities.
"Today, W3C makes good on the promise of first class multimedia 
presentations for the mobile Web," said Chris Lilley (W3C).
