I've been taking a close look at the spec and the following come to mind...
SVG 1.2 Appendix B.1: SVGTimer Inteface I am confused why this is necessary. Is this functionality not basic to all scripting languages? Is the desire to provide a common API so the naming convention is scripting-language independant? I am trying to find new functionality that this requirement adds, and I see none. From what I see, it requires scripting, and the major scripting languages all have support for some things already. I just don't really see anything in SVGTimer that does not simple to implement in the scripting languages as a library rather than as builtin browser functionality... What am I missing? Here are the ecmascript time handling functions, for example...
