but it might still be useful to update and expand a little.  In particular, 
the current SMIL Rec is 2.1, and I have been reading the current (CR-ish) 
SVG Mobile 1.2 spec, although the basic concepts in 1.2 Tiny read a lot 
like 1.1:

Looking at SMIL, it was most useful for me to read about the Animation 
Model [3] and the Basic Animation Module [4].  But to understand those, you 
need to understand SMIL timing and the various timing modules [5].  In 
particular look at (or even start with) the definition of the 
BasicInlineTiming Module [6] -- that is pretty much the rock-bottom minimum 
in SMIL, and would be a candidate for a WebCGM minimum, and in any case it 
will show you how little of [5] you really need to understand at the 
minimum level.
