SMIL 2.0, the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language, has begun to establish itself as an important new approach for integrating multimedia into Web content. SMIL, which offers XML-based approaches for controlling the timing and presentation of multimedia elements, has begun to attract the support of many large software vendors and toolmakers, making it increasingly accessible for developers. In this article, Anne Zieger provides an overview of SMIL and describes several tools available to make SMIL coding simpler. For developers outside the

Oftent targetted to device dependent players, tools, and applications, I was hoping that something would start cooking in the interoperable Captions pathway. It is interesting how many of us may be gearing up against browsers, authors, companies, tools and others to support guidelines, standards, and accessibility - yet the accessibility community remains closed up on a few key fronts with proprietary
