MMS SMIL question

Some elements of MMS SMIL are defined as EMPTY but containing attrbiutes (e.g. root-layout, region etc.)

We are going to use the commercially available XML DOM Coder/Decoder for building an MMS SMIL.
This tool builds the empty element in the following form:

<region id="regSlideText"></region>

The MMS SMIL standard uses a bit different style:

<region id="regSlideText" />

Both styles are correct according to XML 1.0

Should I expect some interoperability problems when my SMIL file will not be understood by some device ?

Thanks in advance

As you say, technically, the XML parser should see both elements as being the same.

But it is impossible to say whether or not there might be a bug in a particular vendor's SMIL interpreter where they do not expect this. It's always hard to anticipate somebody else's bugs.

I'd suggest trying with some different phones.

I wouldn't expect this to be a problem, as I think this should be a well understood issue.

Hi,

A very silly question: what is the current version of MMS SMIL? Except "MMS SMIL" is there any other SMIL?
