Another interesting question is, what is expected, if the display property of a use is animated - does this mean, that the appearence of the embedded XHTML changes? Because XHTML and CSS themselves do not really define, what is animatable or not, SMIL animation is not directly applicable for XHTML+CSS (apart from the specific XHTML+SMIL note from the SMIL group), however if an animated property is inherited, the animation takes place in the well defined SVG environment. As far as I can remember, for example Opera did or does something like a raster image of the XHTML fragment - could be difficult to apply animated properties to such an image as it is difficult to use forms and similar interactive content from XHTML pretty relevant for SVG authors - even more than inherited, animated styling, because the functionality is not available in SVG at all in contrast to the presentation of simple text like 'Hello Kitty' ;o) Note, that the appearence of the XHTML fragment may change as well, if width and height of the foreignObject are changed with animation, therefore to get something useful, maybe one has to clone these things anyway separately for any use reference.
