Ideally (3) if that is reasonable to do. If not then I'd prefer to fall back to
(2) so that existing content could be slightly modified to work with existing
clients and the Media Source Extensions.

The only reason I'm willing to consider MPEG2-TS is because there is HLS
content  on the Web and a major media engine implementation that is driving its
creation. Content providers might want to reuse this HLS content with the Media
Source Extensions so it seems reasonable to explore the idea.

Personally I'd prefer to stop pushing MPEG2-TS's legacy into the future, but I
realize this decision isn't only up to me.
