[M4IF Technotes] [M4IF Infolist] OpenML?

[Mandel, Bill]

I was down at Siggraph yesterday, about the only thing interesting I noticed
was the announcement about OpenML. Has anyone considered it's functionality
relative to MPEG4? They have a diagram in their spec that indicates some
level of intra-operability.

Seems that all kinds of overlapping open formats are appearing. I think
Scaleable Vector Graphics may be loosely related to Flash or your BIFS. Have
you seen that yet? Comments?  http://www.adobe.com/svg/

(moved over)
This has been an interesting thread. Are we seeing a divergence of specs
with similar user experience goals? I'd like to hear some comments comparing
how user experiences/apps are developed in addition to how the various
formats overlap. 
  Technology      Implementation/Authoring       Timeframe
     MHP             Java or (Bean Tool?)          Today?
    MPEG4           Scripting (BIFS Tool?)        <1 year
   SMIL2.0           Handcoding or Tool           Ongoing
    Flash              Authoring Tool             Ongoing
 DHTML/ActiveX          Handcoding?               Ongoing
Are there comparison(s) to be made between BIFS and SMIL?
