Excellent response thank you. My partner and I are developing software services we hope to utilize as we enter the nascent emerging digital signage markets. The manufacturers and media player vendors are now selling players that support SMIL [1]. I'm sure you'll now understand the usefulness of having a browser with native support during the design and testing phase of this type of application.

Hi Hillbilly, > What's the skinny on SMIL support? I've recently learned its about to come > back in a big way and thought FF provided native parsing for .smil files? I'm not sure about native SMIL support. SVG supports SMIL-based animation [1] (you may be interested in section "Relationship to SMIL Animation" [2], and Firefox has been progressing on that. Bug 216462 [3] was already fixed, although it's currently not yet easily available. Bug 473904 [4] should be able to make SVG SMIL animation possible through a simple preference change in nightly builds [5] (soon I hope) but currently you need to build it yourself. Please provide more details on what you indent in order to get more targeted feedback.
