Opera have already implemented support for Ogg Theora and the <video> tag. (see http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=5545573096553082541&pr=goog-sl) Mozilla is on its way to implementing support for Ogg Theora and the <video> tag. The library in development for Firefox is universal and platform-independent (and of course open source), such that it could easily be integrated into IE or Safari. Regards, Silvia.
