Hi- For those of you who don't know, I'm not a big fan of CSS. In general, I don't care much for the set of problems they chose to solve or not solve, and I'm not convinced that the manner in which the solutions were approached was a good choice in retrospect. To be fair, it may be that the

Hi, Ronan- How embarrassing! I didn't realize that there was still a copy of that on my site. It was one of the first things I wrote in SVG, 5 years ago or more, and it only works in ASV. To the extent that it does function, it is buggy and poorly written (although a neat idea to this day).

Hi, Jon- I feel the very same way. We need a standardized way to deliver audio and video, that's clear. There are some detractors of SVG that complain about audio and video being in SVG, but it needs to happen somewhere (and after all, it's really just extending the hosted SMIL). I think
