Are either of these features well supported in general? Can I actually send someone an email and pre-mark it as high priority? Seems ripe for spam abuse. Remote read notification also seems to be weak. If I opened somebody's email and it prompted me to send read notification I would cancel it.

Apple made it's own Youtube player which launches. I assume this player uses the native video hardware decoder rather than software to play back the video. Note that even if you opt-in for HTML5 video you still get shunted to the youtube player. Vimeo bumps you to the QuickTime player. I didn't
