Yep, Michael Dale created the mv_embed to solve his own problems. The <video> tag is something that got adopted by the big boys in the HTML 5 standard. Both share the same principles. By the way, Michael Dale wrote a great blog post about why Ogg/theora is important and the challenges against it. http://metavid.org/blog/2007/12/11/the-attack-against-ogg-theora-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-proprietary-web *Theora is not widely used and has lost in the marketplace, the w3c has no place recommending a new not-widely supported codec. * Let us rewind to October, 1996, here the w3c recommend a little used patent-free image format. How many png images where used on the web before it was a standard? Where there other proprietary image technologies of course, but adopting them or recommending an agnostic image tag would have crippled the Full Potential of the Web and today web sites benefit tremendously from png images even as companies such as Microsoft dragged their feat on full support for almost a decade.
