As SMIL really adds something new to
Web technology, SMIL could well be the major innovation in the Web since the Web
itself was imagined some 15 years ago.Producing a SMIL document is easy, and
it can be played by the most popular multimedia players.
SMIL is a powerful
tool for remote teaching and e-learning and for many other purposes for
companies on intranet or extranet.
