SMIL is certainly the right tool in the long run.
SVG includes a subset of SMIL for animation purposes; most of the
discussion about animation has been about implementing that portion of
the specification.

(for what it's worth zip = jar)
We should probably look at how much we can/want to interoperate with
OpenOffice too.

*nods*
Inkview can now accept .jar/.sxw files on the command line, if an archived
file is an SVG, it supplies it for viewing. As this is just a hack now, I'll
abstract the IO layer using libgsf. This layer can then be used by modules
later on for transparent loading/saving/archive listing in modules for example.
Also, I've put up a wishlist/idea page for inkview here:
