MSE has a normative dependency on the HTML5 media element. Since it
is an extension spec, it seems strange to consider it proceeding ahead of
HTML5.

Note: It is entirely possible, and with the current state of affairs likely,
that MSE will return for a brief Last Call to resolve the outstanding Stream
dependency once the Stream API settles down.
