Hi,

Does anyone know the current state of SVG SMIL animation support in the popular browsers? It looks like Safari, Chrome, and Opera support it. Firefox has confusing reports in their dev pages about SMIL support having been added, but I don't see it as of v3.6:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216462

I am ignoring IE since they don't even support SVG at all, and probably never will, much less SMIL.

The other thing - just comparing this test page between Safari, Chrome, and Opera:

looks like Opera is the only one that renders it correctly. Should we not be using SMIL - kind of looks half-baked in all the browsers (sadly)? Blast.

Thanks
