I have read what David Dailey & Jelle Mulder have written (and largely agree with their sentiments). I have read the reply quoted above, and I have read this: http://www.w3.org/TR/web-animations/#relationship-to-other-specifications The result is that I am totally confused. Is SMIL dead or not? Will the SMIL animated SVG that I wrote, and which has featured in Wikipedia for the last 6 years continue to work (where it does now) or not? Is it intended that some time soon SMIL declarative animation (or something 'backward compatible') will work in Internet Explorer or not? -- Charles Lamont
