I am pleased to announce the second public draft of SMIL animation, which is a declarative syntax for animating XML attributes and the cascaded, computed result of CSS properties. This provides a syntax which can be generated and interpreted by WYSIWYG authoring tools, and can also be combined with traditional, script-based, direct animation using the DOM. This draft has been jointly developed by the SYMM and SVG working groups. It is intended to be a general animation syntax, which can be integrated into a variety of host languages. SVG will be the first such language to use it.It will be possible to animate multi-namespace documents, of which SVG is only one part, using this new animation syntax, and all the component parts will animate smoothly together over a single integrated timeline. Public comment is explicitly invited, and should be sent to the mailing list www-smil@w3.org. -- Chris Lilley Chair, SVG WG
