What matters the most is who is planning to implement it and in what
context. Support for H.264/AAC/MP4 isn't normatively required, either,
but, still, it is increasingly the case that in order to render the
Web a browser needs to support H.264/AAC/MP4. Thus, leaving stuff
non-normative does not guarantee that encumbered technologies stay out
of the Web.

Who is planning to implement H.264/AAC/TS and in what context? Who is
planning to implement MPEG-2 video/legacy MPEG audio/TS and in what
context? By "context" I mean desktop browser, mobile browser, cable
set-top box, etc.

Why isn't MP4 in DASH sufficient for H.264/AAC adaptive and live streaming?
