Well I disagree of course, because having canPlayType("video/ogg") mean
anything else than "can I demux Ogg streams" is pointless.
So you want "canPlayType" to mean one thing when provided a type without
codecs, and another thing when provided a type with codecs. I don't think
that's a good idea.
Yes, I'm saying that when codecs are provided true means "probably" and
otherwise it means "maybe", because the distinction is pointless.
Anyway, it's too late. If you care passionately about this you should
have
reopened this discussion months ago, not now that two browsers have just
shipped support for the API in the spec.
Ian, if you agree that it's too late to change you needn't reply to any of
my other points, I won't push the issue further.
