Timesheets JavaScript Engine

Hello,

I have now published the 0.5 version of the Timesheets JavaScript  
Engine [1]. Timesheets is the new SMIL 3.0 External Timing module  
[2], which allows the integration of SMIL timing with other XML  
languages such as XHTML and SVG. Timesheets is based on the SMIL time  
containers par, seq, and excl.

In addition, timesheets introduces two elements timesheet and item.  
The timesheet element contains all the timing information. It can be  
located, for example, in the head section of XHTML document. It can  
also reference timing information, which is located in an external  
file. The item element contains references to the timed elements, for  
example, in XHTML body sections. The timed elements are selected  
using CSS selectors.

As the name states, the Timesheets JavaScript Engine is a JavaScript  
based implementation of the SMIL 3.0 External Timing Module. Thus, it  
can be used in standard browsers. It has been tested in Firefox,  
Opera, and Safari browsers. All tests and examples should work on  
Firefox and Opera. On Safari, the timesheet src attribute test does  
not work. All other tests and examples should work.
