I agree what you say about SMIL.
Here is an article I wrote in April..
video playlists are always on my mind too.... so obviously smil is a solution for this. smil is very easy to learn too. as i mentioned in another recent thread here, i added smil playlists to vlogdir.... basically an RSS-TO-SMIL feature.
here is a fun one with about 30 short VJ style videos:

quicktime smil can be a little unstable but most of the time, as long as the media is not huge, you can have a smooth experience watching a video playlist.
i'm looking forward to xspf and sent videolan a feature request...and it turns out they already have plans to support xspf in next few version releases.

I could be mistaken, but with SMIL, that is exactly what you would experience in a QT player. So the problem is that SMIL editing tools aren't popular and creators are unaware of the technology. Like XmlHttpRrequest, it's old technology that will create a buzz years after it's creation.
