This is a W3C Recommendation of a specification of animation functionality for XML documents. It describes an animation framework as well as a set of base XML animation elements suitable for integration with XML documents. It is based upon the SMIL 1.0 timing model, with some extensions, and is a true subset of SMIL 2.0. This provides an intermediate stepping stone in terms of implementation complexity, for applications that wish to have SMIL-compatible animation but do not need or want time containers.
This section describes the status of this
This document specifies version 1 of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 1.0, pronounced “smile”). SMIL allows integrating a set of independent multimedia objects into a synchronized multimedia presentation. Using SMIL, an author can:
describe the temporal behavior of the presentation
describe the layout of the presentation on a screen
associate hyperlinks with media objects
This specification is structured as follows: Section 2 presents the specification approach. Section 2 defines the “smil” element. Section 3

This document specifies the second version of the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile"). SMIL 2.0 has the following two design goals:
* Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL 2.0, an author can describe the temporal behavior of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen.
* Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages, in particular those who
