SMIL is a frown. :-)


I found the same -- no SMIL "chatter" today,  2006  I was hoping  
someone might "prove me wrong" as it seems a useful technology. Hmmm  
that makes Revolution itself more alive than SMIL, one could as well,  
deliver the same content media  in a stack... it just would not be  
playable on the web, but if as you say Firefox does not do SMIL, then  
it's a mute point.
