Three actually, in SMIL Animation it's org.w3c.dom.smil.TimeEvent, in SVG 1.1 org.w3c.dom.svg.TimeEvent and now org.w3c.dom.events.TimeEvent. So even if we accept that it "makes more sense" to take the interface out of the smil namespace because SMIL Animation is not maintained, (which does not make sense as ElementTimeControl would have to go out of the smil namespace aswell then), this is already achieved by using the svg namespace for it, which is still unfortunate but consistent with SVG 1.1. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
