SMIL ( Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language ) is a W3C standard to
managed synchronisation between multimedia content.

It's an XML language and it has been modelise to work fine with other XML
language like SVG (or HTML).

It can be very intersting for Mozilla to support this standard because it allow
to create some complexe scenarios with audio, video, vector graphics, ... very
easy and with a standard format.

Copy/Paste of Abstract of SMIL's spec : 
-------
This document specifies the second version of the Synchronized Multimedia
Integration Language (SMIL, pronounced "smile"). SMIL 2.0 has the following two
design goals:

    * Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive
multimedia presentations. Using SMIL 2.0, an author can describe the temporal
behavior of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects
and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen.
    * Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages,
in particular those who need to represent timing and synchronization. For
example, SMIL 2.0 components are used for integrating timing into XHTML
[XHTML10] and into SVG [SVG]. 
--------

SMIL is already use by many softwares (for example : real network use it).
An OpenSource project which support SMIL creation named limSee2 :
