Hi Jeff, Let me see if I understand: suppose we synchronize the position in the carousel with another SMIL timer (as in http://srufaculty.sru.edu/david.dailey/svg/newstuff/SMIL11.svg where activity is either started through SMIL or script) but one that withdraws and reassigns event handlers. Then would your question be equivalent to the question of whether or not we can assign and withdraw event handlers through SMIL. I don't know why z-index would enter, and I don't know what you mean by "painter's model". By the "selected" icon I assume you don't just mean highlighted visually -- since that is pretty easy, if I understand what you mean (the above example withdraws or extends visibility declaratively) but rather enabled to listen for some sort of event. I think Doug Schepers has some similar examples. If I'm following the question then, I would think either trying something like <g id="icon" onfocus="demonstrateFocus()"> <animate attributeName="onfocus" values="demonstrateFocus()">;null" dur="0.5" begin="synchronize.begin" fill="freeze"/> </g> or <g id="icon"> <set attributeName="onfocus" to="demonstrateFocus()">" begin="synchronize.begin" /> </g> might do something like what you have in mind, though I rather doubt that the attributes "onclick" or "onfocus" or "onwhatever" are animateable. Does my thinking here have anything to do with the problem you're discussing? I hope so since it seems like an interesting problem. If "onclick" is not animateable, I suspect there is some gross real world reason that it isn't, cause it would seem like a nice thing to be able to do.
