I wonder why animation and interaction features for inkscape doesn't go in the

Maybe I got it wrong?


SVG has a few ways to deal with animation. These are covered in section 19.1 of the 1.1 SVG spec.

http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/animate.html#Introduction

SMIL is explicitly addressed there. DOM and scripting are two other ways, and SVG's animation elements are another.
