In particular, it will change what happens when the user hits play, and will probably change what gets buffered. Not to mention it requires script. Perhaps someone should suggest to the Media Fragments WG that they should create a syntax where you can address a frame of a video like a picture? The current WD doesn't seem to allow it: http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/WD-media-fragments-spec/
