Yes, I can see that one could say that the difference between 'video' and 'animation' is that video has a single time-line, whereas (some) animations have independently-timed entities and a simple play/pause control may not be sufficient (for example).

In SMIL, it is 'ref', I believe, but this tag is not in SVG... >IIRC, the problem was that SVG 1.1 Full allows animated SVG content >on 'image'. aiiie. >So we ended up saying that image should not point to vector graphics >because otherwise, the same content would have led to different >behaviors in a 1.1 Full and 1.2 Tiny player. so you forbid what 1.1 allowed?
