If that’s referring to the goal of redefining SVG declarative animation in terms of Web Animations, then it’s technically accurate, but I feel it needs more context given all the misinformation that has been spread about SVG animation." Doug asked for feedback on the article: > [1] http://www.infoworld.com/article/3108386/application-development/new-svg-spec-irons-out-overlaps-with-html-css.html > > Regards– > Doug I read it is inaccurate. The article says " while SMIL was replaced by declarative animation in CSS or scripted animation." It wasn't "replaced by" declarative animation in CSS since that would be sort of like saying transatlantic air travel has been replaced by steamships. I like a good steamship, btw. The use of "replaced by" in that sentence, at least in my idiolect of English, renders the sentence either misleading or false. Regards David
