I can perhaps live with the spec not defining if autoplay is equivalent to
preload="metadadata", preload="auto" or something in between (or beyond), but
it should definitely say what happens with the first example:

<video preload="none" autoplay>

Is autoplay considered only once preload > none, or does it override preload?

What I've implemented and want the spec to say is that if you use autoplay
together with preload="none", it is as if preload="none" was not used at all.
In other words, the video should autoplay, not wait until a script sets
preload="metadata" or the user interacts with the controls to start loading.

Surely, this far there's no risk of being too specific and limiting what clever
things implementors can do with the preload hint?
