Hi, A couple of clarifications. On 2015/03/17 7:21, Tab Atkins Jr. wrote: > Microsoft has publicly refused to implement SMIL, and has persisted in > this.

We'll possibly do the same in Gecko some day but that's just an implementation detail made possible by the whole extensible Web approach and Web animations model. It doesn't change anything from a developer or spec point of view. The main problem with SVG/SMIL animation is that it only animates SVG (except in Firefox). Unless it outgrows that it's never likely to be mainstream. Best regards, Brian
