Re: <animateColor>

Hi David,

	I think that's a historical artifact of coming from SMIL. SMIL
defined it and SVG used it. So yes the functionality appears replicated
but it was originally part of the SMIL language that SVG inherited so
there may have been other reasons in that dialect to distinguish between
the two, but I don't know of any examples myself.
