Hmmm.... I'm trying to parse the media element spec, and it says that 
it's ended when its input has reached the end of the medium - but I 
can't tell if there's the option of manually rewinding the input, or if 
it's possible for a media source to change the position of the end after 
the media element has ended.

Is it possible for a media element to become un-ended after having been 
ended?
