But what implications do we draw from this? For example: It was agreed, I think, between David and Sean that the poster does not need to be taken from the video *file*. But even so: What if I find a nice picture that I *do* include in the video file, as its first frame, because some UA that I care about do not support the @poster attribute? Thus: I think it doesn't matter that it is part of the video. What matters is that it - the frame or the more or less accidental image file - has been chosen as poster. A poster is, in principle, not a presentational image - the assumption is that the poster tries to tell us why we should take the time to play the video. -- Leif H Silli
