Microsoft doesn't believe HTML5 needs to specify a mandatory to implement
codec. The market is quite capable of ensuring that popular formats are
supported on the web. Opus did not exist when ISSUE-7 was closed. Who knows
what formats might be more popular than this by the time HTML5 gets to
Recommendation, or after that. It's also not clear that there will be
widespread adoption of Opus for the purposes that <audio> is currently used.

This does not mean Microsoft is for or against supporting Opus with <audio>,
just that the spec doesn't need to say anything on this.
