The html-type comment tag <!-- I am a comment. --> also is used in a
SMIL 2 program that is contained between <smil> and </smil> tags. SMIL
is an XML language. While most browsers will not support full SMIL 2
directly, the most recent Real players have nearly complete W3C SMIL 2
support built in, and add-on programs for SMIL support are available.
SMIL is a very powerful XML language designed for media presentations.
