Use a form of SMIL
Pros:
- Already a W3C specification with an active Working Group and Activity
- Existing tools and content use SMIL (two web browsers now support SVG+SMIL: Opera and Apple)
- Microsoft has shown some interest in SMIL (HTML+TIME)
Apple's CSS animation proposal
Pros:
- Already implemented by Apple in Safari
Questions
- Any patent-encumberances with Apple's proposal?
- Has the "CSS animation proposal" been formalized in a spec, peer reviewed?
- If "CSS animation" was chosen, would this effort become an additional activity of the HTML Working Group? Or would it be a separate proposal formalized by Apple with which the HTML WG would coordinate?
- The current proposal suggests CSS animation. Other than the fact that it's XML, are there any technical arguments against using SMIL (i.e. why is it considered the inferior choice)?
