nor me. I think the right message is that UAs should have a
preference, or some way for the user to indicate, what and whether
they want auto-played media to auot-play. "Never', "only visible
media" (no auto sound effects), "Only if I cam from the same site" (I
probably clicked on a link requesting media),....whatever settings
they like.
scripts can be disabled. so should auto-play be dis-ablable (ugly word!)
