I rather like the CP, though I'm definitely not a fan of the name.
You argue that some people are confused by the current name of the
@poster attribute, but the term "poster frame" seems to be
well-established in general.  "firstframe" seems to imply that it can
only hold the first frame of the video, which is incorrect.

I'd prefer to stick with either <poster>, or perhaps <posterframe>.
