I guess I would like to hear more about why people think this is so hard. We seem to agree we need an extensible hints structure for things like this in the future. We have lots of experience with codec selection. I'm proposing that the it is optional to implement and the browser can ignore the hint. So what is that people don't like about this? I'm just not getting it?
