tidoust has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/media-source: == The fetch step in HTML5.1's resource fetch algorithm no longer exists == In [2.4.1 Attaching to a media element](https://w3c.github.io/media-source/#mediasource-attach), the Media Source Extensions specification plugs itself into the "Perform a potentially CORS-enabled fetch" step of the [resource fetch algorithm](https://www.w3.org/TR/html51/semantics-embedded-content.html#resource-fetch-algorithm), defined in HTML5.1. This algorithm has been updated in HTML5.1 and that step no longer exists. Actually, I think that algorithm got updated precisely to cover [media provider objects](https://w3c.github.io/html/semantics-embedded-content.html#media-provider-object) à la `MediaSource`, although the expected attachment method is rather via `srcObject`, which seems planned for VNext (#28). Perhaps you can plug after the first step in this algorithm to force `mode` to `local`, reset the `delaying-the-load-event-flag`, etc. Step 4. in "Attaching to a media element" would then not be needed anymore. I may have missed something though. Also note that steps à la "If the media data cannot be fetched at all, ..." are now defined in a separate [media data processing steps list](https://w3c.github.io/html/semantics-embedded-content.html#media-data-processing-steps-list) algorithm and are no longer in the resource fetch algorithm. References should be updated accordingly in the [End of stream algorithm](https://w3c.github.io/media-source/#end-of-stream-algorithm).
