[Bug 12360] <video> It seems more accurate to say that the media element "is not currently playing" instead of saying "is paused or not". The phrase "is paused" seems to imply that it's been manually paused by the user, but this would not apply...

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: 

media.paused definitely doesn't represent if the element is playing or not.
There are a lot of ways in which .paused can be false but the element not be
playing.

Do you have another suggestion? I don't want something less accurate than "is
paused or not", but I'm happy to change it if we can find something better.
