Dead? More like just being born... First, I would disagree, because SMIL has the ability to understand keytimes and splines out of the box, why would you take the time to rewrite all of the functionality of something that already exists and is very efficient? You can perform any fathomable animation using SMIL so I don't know what other functionality you're looking for that would make proprietary JavaScript animations a good idea. Second, being XML based, it is extremely Web & SEO friendly as well as reusable across namespaces. Third, it is extremely safe to use across domains and animations can be readily created and served from a database to a client. Lastly, it is native and built in to the browser.
