UAs that do support them also benefit in being able to negotiate each variant individually instead of getting whatever collection of media files the "playlist movie" decides upon. And perhaps playlists with a <ul> child can play the media in any order, not necessarily source order, presumably whatever item becomes available first. But I have been arguing against element proliferation in another thread and here I am suggesting new ones :-) - Nicholas. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
