Dave,
What am I missing that you don't like?
Are Adobe/Microsoft going to be update their Flash/Silverlight browser
plug-ins in order to be first-class <video> handlers in Safari on Mac and
Windows?
Why ask me what other vendors will do with their proprietary formats
(or their browser, in the case of Microsoft)?
P.P.S. I understand that the the world can ignore <video> and continue to
embed as they currently do.
And for some solution vendors, embed/object may be a preferred
direction, and for some content owners, they may prefer to continue
to use systems that use embed/object and require optional downloads
for their clients, with the consequent uncertainty of support. I
hope that there are few in both categories, but I expect it will
remain a viable option.
