I'm just trying to verify that my understanding is accurate. Can anyone comment?
1. I remember Microsoft folks saying that IE would not support SVG SMIL until such time as there was an animation spec that was shared across both SVG and HTML. 2. The CSS WG, with input from the SVG WG has been working on a way of doing exactly that, though doing it all through styles rather than DOM elements (like <animate>). 3. Microsoft is likely to support said standard (in something like IEx for x>10) at such time as the spec actually emerges as a recommendation. 4. Browser support for CSS-based animations, as defined by the CSS WG, will not translate into support for DOM-based animations. 5. Ergo: no legacy content will ever work in IE. I would actually be delighted if some of my understanding is inaccurate, since I would hate to think that the 2007-era HTML mantra of "don't break the web" is now obsolete. I suppose 2007 was a while back, and like many of the design aphorisms, it really depends on who is breaking the rules as to when the rules are applicable.
