I don't see how the browsers can "do a good enough job" themselves the point is
that authors need a standard way to control buffering progress like they can
with existing flash based web video distribution platforms. 

Its not a question of whether browsers can "do a good job" its a question of
tuning this to application / site specific context that are unknown to the
browser. 

Its comparable to saying web authors don't need JavaScript control to be able
to lazy load non-visible image assets, because ~browsers should handle that~.
