Thanks for that example, Brian. I'm impressed with how readable the code is. Suggests to me the artist writes her svg by hand, and doesn't use a svg generator like Inkscape (…or debug/jig).
A professional illustrator (like my daughter) would think of using a gif for this sort of thing. Only a programmer – and maybe it needs a J-er – would appreciate the flexibility of using svg instead. The animation is hardwired with <animateTransform>. I'm keen to see an example where parameters like co-ordinates and delays are altered without reloading the whole (edited) textfile, something I'm told is easy with svg. Because it's declarative, not prescriptive (…are those the right terms?) Altering the DOM by injecting javascript? I'm outside my comfort zone here.
