A Product Manager responds to the debate:

"Bottom line, we are at an impasse in the evolution of HTML video. Having no
baseline codec in the HTML specification is far from ideal. This is why
we're joining others in the community to invest in WebM and encouraging
every browser vendor to adopt it for the emerging HTML video platform (the
WebM Project team will soon release plugins that enable WebM support in
Safari and IE9). Our choice was to make a decision today and invest in open
technology to move the platform forward, or to accept the status quo of a
fragmented platform where the pace of innovation may be clouded by the
interests of those collecting royalties. Seen in this light, we are choosing
to bet on the open web and are confident this decision will spur innovation
that benefits users and the industry."
