[whatwg] Images preprocessing

2008-03-31 Thread Filip Likavcan
Hi, I was thinking about some preprocessing of images before they are uploaded to server. Typical example is unexperienced user who wants to upload whole set of photos from birthday party. Every photo has unnecessary huge proportions and will be resized immediately after upload. What if UA could

I'm not saying that the MPEG codecs meet the 3.12.7.1 requirements. I'm saying that ISO/IEC MPEG standards are vastly preferable to the nonstandard, single-company junk that web developers are saddled with now. The W3C need not abandon its ideals to declare that MPEG standards are better than the
