True, but... the tracks that get created from SMIL are 'Movie Tracks', very much like the Flash 'movieclip' abstraction in that they are recursive containers for other movies (which may in turn include other movie tracks etc.). They are known as MIAMs in the QuickTime community (Movie In A Movie). I don't believe a chapter track would be treated as a cuepoint track if created in this way. Still, it's a good approach for some other designs. By setting the filename of a QuickTime member to the SMIL file you just exported with (say) fileIO, you get almost realtime feedback. This works quite well.
