Which raises the question of why > we're designing in those limitations. I don't really follow I'm afraid. The idea behind using <video> is to show a video.

At that point authors don't have to do much more than <video src=geweldig></video> and make sure the geweldig resource is accessible. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
