CDMs are not plugins. I'm not sure how many times we have to repeat that before people will stop propagating this myth. Yes, they share some features with plugins (notably some if not all will be proprietary code), but there are many differences, not least that no browsers have any plans to make them user-installable, users will have a choice - through their choice of browser - and browsers will have some control over what the CDMs can do. ...Mark > > -- > regards, Kornel > > >
