I'm not sure why (or if) this upsets you, since I expect it to be common that a host language has a different set of supported events than SMIL. > a context that would expect plain > event types per the SMIL Recommendations, What do you mean by plain? > and there is no requirement to > support namespaced events in SVG Tiny 1.2 for animation elements That's right, there is no requirement. > even > though there is a requirement to support such events for XML Events > facilities, Yes. This is because the feature is already supported via DOM, which isn't the case with SMIL. It was never a requirement for the feature set of SMIL animation to match the feature set of scripting. > a requirement so important that the Working Group has to > re-define XML Events in SVG Tiny 1.2 (and that even in a way that is > inconsistent with DOM Level 3 Events). That's clearly not satisfactory > to me then. Could you suggest a solution? Dean
