How do you compute the "duration" of an SVG file ?

When using SVG 1.2 Tiny, it is possible to include an animated SVG from another SVG file using the <animation> tag. Moreover it is possible to use the following syntax for the timing <animation dur="media" repeatCount="2" ... />

In this case the player needs to know the duration of the included SVG file to be able to execute the loop.

Is the duration of an SVG file always "indefinite" ?

Does it need to be computed by the player ?
How ?

Can it be explicitly specified ( something like <svg dur="10s"> ...</svg> )?
