So, let's say I want an application that plays music and shows it being played, synchronized with an animation of the musical score. I would have said the most appropriate architecture for that is for the server to serve MusicXML, and for a client-side application to do both the aural rendition and the animated display. You're saying I "really shouldn't" be doing that. I don't understand why. How would you do it? (Let's remember that MathML and SVG are only in the approved list of vocabularies because their advocates made a lot of noise about it for many years, and because people found ways to deliver content in these vocabularies before they got the seal of approval of the browser vendors.)
