they specify that; perhaps the SYMM WG can clarify their rationale,

might even be willing to change this behavior in an errata, to come in

with other Specs.
The issue is that in SMIL the focusInEvent gets sent to a media item
in the body section, not to a region in the layout section. In the
layout section it would have made sense to have the focusInEvent
bubble, but not in the body section: unlike HTML, where containment
has (usually) some spatial correspondence, in SMIL a media node and
its parent have no spatial relationship whatsoever.
Note that this is all in the SMIL 2[.1] Language Profile, other
profiles or languages that reuse SMIL timing but have a tree
structure more like HTML than like SMIL should probably state that
the events do bubble.
