Reasons for ignoring the attribute would depend on the user's browsing environment or preferences. e.g. Ignoring an author's suggestion to use autobuffering on a limited or costly connection, or perhaps ignoring a suggestion to not autobuffer based on a user's site preference. Consider a user that visits a particular site that they visit to explicitly watch the the latest video, but the site author has included a suggestion to not autobuffer. The user may set a site specific preference in their browser to always autobuffer videos on that particular site, so it optimises their own user experience. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
