- we propose to transmit musical scores
(instead of samples)
and to add sound synthesis functionality to
web browsers

- smaller -- musical scores are usually a few orders
of magnitude smaller
- flexible -- the audio signal
can be synthesized at the client side
at any appropriate rate,
- informative (queries) -- high level description provides
the browser with more information
- standard? -- MIME/SGML (SMDL)
