Hi, HTML WG-

In looking into "activation behavior" for the DOM3 Events spec, I was 
reviewing the HTML5 spec.  Currently, the <audio> and <video> elements 
do not have defined activation behavior.

I suggest that they should, and propose that the activation behavior for 
<audio> and <video> is to play if the media is currently stopped or 
paused, and to pause if the media is currently playing.

Regards-
