Your first SMIL document

Discover what a SMIL document is made of... Here is a source. It is just a skeleton since no media are specified:

<smil>
 <head>
  <meta name="copyright" content="Your Name" />
  <layout>
   <!-- layout tags -->
  </layout>
 </head>
 <body>
  <!-- media and synchronization tags -->
 </body>
</smil>

Source (vim HTML version)

The first thing you have noticed is that SMIL is really similar to HTML.
