 http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/ I'm fine with smil... I think it's more appropriate to what I do. XML is probably just as good...

 I really didn't mean to diss traditional notation above. I have all the respect in the world for it. I do think we need file formats and notation types that are better suited to computer music and to newer techniques...
