Re: SVG12: currentTime definition

Hi Björn,
Thanks for your comment. We have removed the note you are referring to since it was both unclear and added no value to the specification. The current wording for currentTime is: 
On read : Returns the current animation timeline time in seconds.
On write : Sets the current animation timeline time (in seconds). This API is required to support seeking forwards and backwards in the timeline. After a seek, animation continues to play (forwards) from the new time.
 
Please reply to this mail within two weeks if the change does not address your concerns.
 
Thanks

Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group,
 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/svgudom.html notes
for currentTime that "Moving backwards in time is a costly feature for
the implementations to support" though it is highly unclear what that
means, please state clearly the meaning of the note in the draft.
 
regards,
