I am sure you are doing the best you can. However, others are openly patent trolling on this list, and that undermines your position a great deal. >> First of all putting theora as a baseline in the spec isn't forcing >> anyone to do anything. > > How does a mandatory requirement to implement avoid force? You baffle > me. Conformance with any part of the specification is voluntary. Obviously, a codec that all clients and authors are satisfied with would be great. However, the W3C process recognizes that unanimity is not always possible. You have done a good job avoiding the pitfalls I list below, but I will list them so that others may help this discussion move forward in a clear manner: 1) Refrain from framing unanimity as a requirement. It is not one. 2) Be clear about who you represent. Don't claim to relay private feedback from "browser vendors". This is both courteous and required by the W3C process. - Rob
