smilText should definitely be supported on the Mac, so either  
something went wrong during build, or something is wrong with your  
document, or you've stumbled upon a bug:-)

First thing to check is whether you've included SMIL 3 support during  
build, it should be on by default in the CVS tree, but check that your  
compile command lines have -DWITH_SMIL30=1 to be sure. If not: check  
configure.log to see what went wrong.

Next thing to do is to turn on debugging output in the player, and see  
whether this tells you anything interesting (such as unexpected tag  
names, for example because you mistyped smilText). You could also  
enable DTD validation (if you have built with xerces support), but you  
need to add the right DOCTYPE stuff to your document.

If all that doesn't lead anywhere: redo the configure/make, and send  
me the output, along with your configure.log.
