Hello all, Section 3.14.7.1. of the HTML 5 specification (regarding the <video> element) recommends that user-agents should suport both Theora and Vorbis. This, I believe, is a great idea for interoperability between the different platforms out there, to make sure that <video> will work on as many user-agents as possible. I would like to propose that section 3.14.8.1, regarding the <audio> element, be changed to recommend that user-agents should support the Speex voice codec, as Speex seems perfectly suited for podcasts, as well as for pages read aloud. These situations seem to be one of/the aim of the <audio> element, hence it appears that Speex, due to its quality, patent-free status, open specification, and architecture reflecting the needs of the Internet seems to be the natural choice for interoperability of the <audio> element. Feedback welcome. Best regards, Ivo Emanuel Gon?alves
