I don't have any inside information on the subject, but I suspect the BBC would be most likely to move away from flash either (a) if it would save money, or (b) to increase reach on devices that don't support it. Aside from the general desirability of working with and supporting open standards, what are the other reasons why the BBC should be looking into making the change at this point in time?
