According to CanIUse.com [1], SMIL is supported by all modern browsers except IE and Opera Mini. I guess the idea is to provide an animated GIF or video fallback for those browsers?

IE is probably waiting for Web Animations 1.0 and SVG 2 to be finalized first.

html5 export (based on canvas) will work on all modern browsers anyway, svg+smil is just icing on the cake
