This is the main issue I > have. We are motivated to fix quality-of-implementation issues regardless of what the spec says. In any case this is more of a missing feature than a bug. We originally implemented media elements before the "autobuffer" attribute was added, and aimed our implementation mainly at the video-centric page use case. Now that there's explicit buffer control, we should make a distinction, and also support the use case of pages with incidental video that is not likely to be played. We'll probably draw that line differently depending on the platform and the user's network conditions. I don't think the spec needs to be precise about how to draw the line. Regards, Maciej
