Sure, if it also says exactly what should happened with parameters which are
not defined. Existing implementations ignore unknown parameters, so
canPlayType('video/ogg;bla=bla') returns 'maybe' in at least Firefox and Opera.
Along this line, we could let canPlayType('application/octet-stream;
codecs=bla') return whatever canPlayType('application/octet-stream') returns.
