JCD: From SVGT12 CR: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/multimedia.html#VideoElement
xlink:href = "<XMLRI> 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/types.html#DataTypeXMLRI>"
    An IRI reference 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/SVGMobile12/linking.html#IRIReference>. *An empty 
attribute value (xlink:href="") disables rendering of the element*...

JCD: the difference is: for any non-live video stream, you know the 
length at the beginning, so would provide a length in all progress 
events. For a live recording, you have no idea.
Dealing with switching the camera back on is not included in my use 
case, since it just means another recording session.
I do not have a model. WebAPI seems to have a model which looks 
insufficient to me for the use case mentionned.

Best regards
