I'd like to see, as a counterpart to the 'SVG Interactivity' palette, an 'SVG SMIL-Animation' palette. Well, it'd be more than a palette. It'd be a modular sequencer, with timelines, with attribute/value parametric selection, and a visual (if loose and granular) representation of each SMIL-Animation element's effect with the current values. Also, it would be nice to have a selection of common performances, such as 'move from here to there, over this much time', or 'move along this path over this time' or 'move like this, and repeat' - all the common things that the SMIL syntax easily allows in SVG. From there, it would be nice to have some quite complex and sophisticated macro sequences, of the sort that exceed the hand-coding boundary perhaps. All of which, all the time, might resemble a cross between a patchbay for a synthesizer studio (like OMS or FreeMidi offers), and an actual sequencer (like Notator or suchlike), where time and motion is represented, and also the interconnections and parameter dependencies. That'd be nice. -- Ian Tindale London
