After 4 years of not converging in a satisfactory manner I do not share
Microsoft's optimism that the market will sort things out. The current
situation has an undeniably negative effect on interoperability and puts an
unnecessary burden onto web authors to patch things up.
Specifying a mandatory to implement codec, while not being able to force
anything, may give additional incentive for offending vendors to "try harder".
Vendors may or will not implement everything in HTML-5, but things may move
forward a bit more quickly in the codec area if not supporting a certain
baseline codec is non-spec behavior, i.e., a clear bug.
The arrival of Opus should be incentive enough to revisit this issue. Of
course, if all major vendors (Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera) agree to
implement Opus in <audio> (no matter if mandatory or not) this whole issue may
indeed resolve itself.
