Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (fwd)

[Mia Kalish]

This is curious, because right now, streaming audio is a proprietary format,
and not many people have readers. It also has the ugly behavior of loading
after all the rest of the action has already happened. 

I think it's okay to have a language where you can specify simultaneity, but
making it happen with streaming audio may be a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

The World Wide Web Consortium has released "Synchronized Multimedia
Integration Language (SMIL 2.1)" as a W3C Recommendation.

With SMIL (pronounced "smile"), authors create multimedia presentations
and animations integrating streaming audio and video with graphics and
text. Version 2.1 features include a new Mobile Profile and an Extended
Mobile Profile with enhanced timing, layout and animation capabilities.
"Today, W3C makes good on the promise of first class multimedia
presentations for the mobile Web," said Chris Lilley (W3C).
