But I think it'll make it more easier to get the SMIL group involve with this tag, or implement both; redundant? That what most people say about most of the SVG tags, but giving people the ability to choice the tag they most support or represent...

It sounds like you're just asking for better ways to do animation in script. Luckily this is already possible, via Web Animations <http://dev.w3.org/fxtf/web-animations/>. This is being implemented in Chrome/Opera and Firefox today, and other browsers should do it soon. As a tip for the future, it's far more helpful if you describe the problem you're having, rather than describing a solution you've come up with. Your problem might already be solved, or be in the process of being solved, and it's far easier to figure out what to tell you if you describe your problem directly. Because you instead went straight to a solution here, I had to puzzle out what you were actually asking for, which took longer and required more typing by both of us. ~TJ
