Comment:

Dear SYMM WG-

This is a Last Call review comment from the SVG WG on the SMIL
Timesheets 1.0 specification, W3C Working Draft 10 January 2008,
http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-timesheets-20080110/ . Please let us know
if you have any questions by replying to www-svg@w3.org.


As with the SMIL specs themselves, a definition list would be very
helpful. Here are some terms that should be defined, either in this
document, or in some other document with a direct reference link:

* time container [1]
* syncbase [2]
* host language

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL3/smil-timing.html#q167
[2] http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL3/smil-timing.html#q159


In general, the SVG WG finds the SVG spec notation to be more readable
than SMIL Timesheets for all attribute values, and encourage the SYMM WG
to use similar notation in SMIL Timesheets. See for example:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#MarkerElement

-Doug Schepers, on behalf of the SVG WG
