1. why not just include SMIL as a part of HTML, much in the same way that it is integrated with SVG? It is an existing W3C reco.
Reasons for not using <t:video> were that it was 1) complicated and 2) not used.
Thanks Anne... Is there some easy way to resurrect prior discussions of this from the archives somewhere? I would like to try to understand the reasoning here. SMIL doesn't seem complicated to me -- declarative animation is rather charming and the "complicatedness" is cognitively less demanding than scripting. Its popularity will probably be synergized by rather dramatic increases in use of SVG.
