Skal, 
>I have some problems with the transduction of XMT-O to XMT-A. For instance,
tags like <text> or <excl> aren't' taken into account. 
The <excl> tag will be most useful if your goal is  to dynamically change
the MPEG-4 content while using  the XMT-O as delivery format (as in SMIL).
But since that was not the purpose of XMT-O, and since  the IBM toolkit for
MPEG-4 as released on the alphaWorks uses  the XMT-O as exchangeable
authoring format, not delivery format,   you will not find the support for
the <excl> tag in the toolkit  (although it is a nice feature to have). .   
As for the <text> tag, you can use the <string> tag  until  there is a more
general implementation of the <text> tag available. 
>What can I do? 
You can send me a private email  with a  scenario of an MPEG-4 scene where
you would like to use <excl>.   There may be a workaround. 
 Regards,
 Michelle

Hello! 
I am trying to create MPEG-4 scenes using the IBMtoolkit. 
I have some problems with the traduction of XMT-O to XMT-A. 
For instance, tags like <text> or <excl> arent' taken into account. 
What can I do? 
Do you konw another XMT-O editor? 
Thanks for your help. 
Skal
