   In yesterday's Minutes, 16 March 2015 SVG WG telcon of the [email protected]
this discussion came up:

 

It sounds as though things are much better than I feared.

-------------------

 

shepazu: there has been a lot of heat and not a lot of light

    regarding smil

    ... on the mailing list

    ... my understanding is that the element based animation syntax

    will be supported by the animation model

 

    birtles: right

 

    shepazu: and all this gloom and doom about smil is not

    neccessary

 

    birtles: I believe so

    ... think part of the concern is that google says they're not

    interested in extending the feature set of element based

    animation

 

    shepazu: ok, but old stuff will work

 

    birtles: though there was some indication there might be slight

   changes in the behaviour

 

    ed: that's in the engine itself. doesn't have to affect content

 

    shepazu: I'm going to make a wiki page that spells this out

    ... think if we're going to have this element based syntax it

    should be in a spec right?

 

    birtles: yes. I started writing a spec called 'Animation

    Elements'

    ... don't have much time to work on it at the moment

    ... main problem with the draft is that I started adding extra

    features
