Re: SMIL 3 Linking

Heiko,
the intention of the document (and, indeed, the implementation as it is in Ambulant, or at least should be:-) is that the fragment is played "in context", in other words, the whole document is opened, and "fast forwarded" to the selected position.

So, indeed, the whole presentation will play.
