http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7428 --- Comment #3 from Robert O'Callahan (Mozilla) <roc@ocallahan.org> 2009-08-26 18:05:46 --- The spec says: > The autobuffer attribute provides a hint that the author expects that > downloading the entire resource optimistically will be worth it, even in the > absence of the autoplay attribute. In the absence of either attribute, the > user agent is likely to find that waiting until the user starts playback before > downloading any further content leads to a more efficient use of the network > resources. The latter sentence is encouraging UAs to do what Firefox does. > The page author is the person who is going to know this first and best, No, the browser is in the best position to know what the user's network conditions are --- whether it's on a phone, or loading content over a very high-speed network or even the local file system, etc. User preferences are also relevant here. This does need to be ultimately controlled by the browser. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
