Would you consider a new buffering attribute better than using the existing attributes as follows? * If the autobuffer attribute is present, select "full buffering strategy" and abort these steps. * If the poster attribute is present, select "no buffering strategy" and abort these steps. * Otherwise, select "partial buffering strategy". Where the strategies are as follows: "full buffering strategy": Buffer the video fully (or less if fully buffering would hit cache size limits). "no buffering strategy": Don't request any piece of the video at all before the video is played. "partial buffering strategy": Request enough of the video to be able to decode the first frame and (format permitting) discover the duration. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
