That would make it similar to a 16:9 movie playing on a 16:9 TV. This is actually already handled for <video> specifically. <video> is a replaced element, and its content (the video itself) has an intrinsic aspect-ratio (which would be unaffected by the 'aspect-ratio' property, which applies to the element rather than the contents). <video> uses "object-fit:contain" in the HTML stylesheet to ensure that it gets boxed rather than distorted when the ratio of the element is different than the ratio of the video. "background:black" could then be added to specifically make the bars black, if desired. ~TJ
