A search engine that wants to index all media elements can just download and inspect them, it doesn't need to do so using a browser engine. In fact, if it wants to generate screenshots and index subtitles it *cannot* do it using a browser engine due to cross-origin policy. > Or consider a browser optimised > for users with a visual impairment that reads out the text under the user's > finger, and wants to quickly play back the few seconds of a <video> around the > playhead when the user drags his finger over it. It needs to preload at least a > little even if preload=none. This is pretty much the same situation as a user simply deciding to play a video, in which case it will start buffering. This will cause scripts to break if they don't expect that the user can play/pause a video that doesn't have (native or scripted) controls, but I don't think there's anything the spec can do about that. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
