32 bits isn't nearly enough for video or even streaming audio (just 2-4 days of low bitrate streaming will pass the 4 GB barrier). Opera's work-in-progress implementation already uses 64 bits, although the double representation will cause inaccuracy at somewhere over 52 bits. I support changing the spec and living with the "double bug" until someone actually needs > 52 bits, which should be about 4 petabytes.
