Interaction between discard and animation element

Hi,

What happens when an SVG files (1.2 tiny) is included in another file
with an <animation> tag and that the included file has a discard element
?

***************** Example: case 1:

File 1:
<svg>
<rect> <discard begin="3s"/> </rect>
</svg>

File 2:
<svg>
<animation xlink:href="file1.svg" dur="10" repeatDur="20" />
</svg>

I suppose the following happens:
0-3s:   The rectangle is visible
3-10s:  The rectangle is discarded
10-13s: The rectangle is visible again, because the repeat restart the
file from the beginning
13-20s: The rectangle is discarded again.

Is this understanding correct ? If not, could you point out to me where
it is stated otherwise ?


***************** Example: case 2:

File 3:
<svg>
<animation xlink:href="file1.svg" dur="10" begin="0;10" />
</svg>

I suppose the following happens:
0-3s:   The rectangle is visible
3-10s:  The rectangle is discarded
10-13s: The rectangle is visible again, because the included file begin
again
13-20s: The rectangle is discarded again.
 
Is this understanding correct ? If not, could you point out to me where
it is stated otherwise ?
