​Ideally, the UA would have a robust/full set of controls. the author could
choose a 'standard set' of controls to provide on their page. And, the user
could choose to have a different​

​more robust set always turned on in their browser to meet their needs,
without the author having to do extra work. I am sure there are technical
details that will make this much more complicated than I wish it were. ​

I understand about authors using 3rd party players, the range of abilities
(and holes in feature sets - especially accessibility) is a bit daunting
for authors and troublesome for users. Do you know if there is a way to
override the authors choice of 3rd party player and use the native browser
video player instead?
