Following up on P T Withington's hint to use visibility or opacity, I created
this to do it using opacity.
<canvas width="2000" height="2000" debug="true">
<debug height="200" width="500" fontsize="12"
x="50" y="50" />
<text name="blinker" fontsize="16" >Hello World!
<animatorgroup process="sequential"
attribute="opacity" duration="500"
repeat="Infinity" relative="false" motion="linear" >
<animator from="0" to="0" />
<animator from="1" to="1" />
</animatorgroup>
</text>
<script>
Debug.write("Debugging On");
</script>
</canvas>
