If you mean that they overlap better that Don Demsak said? Take the SVG 0.9 - SVG1.2 1. Started like a Scalable Vector Graphics. The initial draft had nothing more than the Vector Graphics. More or less at the same time SMIL was started. The SMIL said about "animation", "time", "video", "audio" and "media". (Wait! its not SMIL - its part of SVG 1.2!?) 2. Instead of integrating SVG amd SMIL animations such a way that SVG would deal with graphics and SMIL would deal with animations and time, the SVG INCORPORATED INSIDE (COPY AND PASTE AND CHANGE)Timing and Animation modules FROM SMIL. 3. More the better... Later thinking that what was done it is not enought SVG INCORPORATED INSIDE video, audio and media elements from SMIL. (COPY AND PASTE AND CHANGE) 4. If we already forgot that that was "scalable vector graphic", why we do not put inside all what we have around? XForms, Text Blocks and CSS from XHTML. Its good? Right? Then why do not take a page description from PS? (COPY AND PASTE AND CHANGE) 5. You name it. I dont know what W3C will add during the next 2 weeks ;). May be its time to change the SVG to some more relevant name? May be XAML?
