Those attributes are basic values you'd want to use to initialize the video. For those that don't know Javascript very well and just want a video to play a certain way right away, it would be a real pain to only have access to these properties via scripting. Besides, I can't see the author wanting to set |autostart| and |startpos| dynamically, as they are clearly intended to be used when the page is loading. (The |loop| attribute might be set dynamically, but I can see situations where one would want the video to play in the background in a continuous loop from the moment the page is loaded. Granted, most of those uses are presentational.)
