Should some of these perhaps be issues for UAAG instead of HTML5? HTML5 does not generally make requirements on browser UI (other than whatever is necessary inside Web content for interop purposes). There are no requirements on what built-in media controls look like, for example. Alternatively, perhaps some of these should have parallel requests for appropriate scripting APIs, for the case of custom video controls. Regards, Maciej
