To a limited extent, with the SMIL State <send> and <submission> =
elements. See =
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-SMIL3-20081201/smil-state.html#q34> for =
the formal details (and an example). You may also want to check the SMIL =
Language Profile section (which has some details on the methods =
supported) and possibly the XForms specification (after which this was =
modeled).

What this looks like, from the server side, is as if a form (HTML form =
or XForms form) has been filled in and submitted by the user (with SMIL =
state variables being the data entered into the form). The replace and =
target attributes allow you to determine what to do with the server =
response: if its a set of form values you probably want to use =
replace=3Dinstance to store the values in the SMIL state, if it's a SMIL =
document (or possibly something like an HTML document, or so) =
replace=3Dall. That said, if you're using Ambulant to play things I =
wouldn't count on the latter being fully implemented, let us hear of any =
issues you encounter.
