Re: how to animate a "donut" and watch with a current viewer?

Hi Jon,
thank you very much for the reply, but
your example was an animated basic shape, not an
animated compound path donut, which is something with
a hole in it. 
1)Animation of paths and compound-paths 
{
http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/03/WD-SVG-20000303/paths.html#Introduction
"Compound paths (i.e., a path with subpaths, each
consisting of a single moveto followed by one or
more line or curve operations) are possible to allow
effects such as "donut holes" in objects."
"d="path data" Animatable:yes"
"The following lists all of the elements which can be
animated by an 'animateMotion' element:
[...] 'path'"
}
is *very* important, so I'm really looking forward to
seeing this crucial feature implemented soon in the
adobeSVGviewer plug-in.
Then we can animate characters like this one

on:

2)A nice feature to add to the spec would be:
animatable compound paths consisting of basic shapes

Thank you all very much for your endeavour!
Tobi
