Wrong. SMIL says attribute _value_. And this is a "should" guide and implementations do exactly what is said - maintain the base and animated values. >I would say this is a bug in Opera, if it really does add an attribute; >that said, I suspect it won't make much difference for most purposes. I would say that the animation should not happen if that is the case. If SMIL cannot change the DOM, there is no attribute to animate. If the animation says attributeType="XML" etc., or similar then it's not there and won't animate. Poor content authors. Alex >Regards- >-Doug Schepers >W3C Team Contact, SVG and WebApps WGs > > >
