Currently HTML5 does not require media elements to delay the load event in any way. We certainly don't want to delay the load event until the entire resource has finished loading (as we do for images), but I think it would make sense to delay the load event until media elements that are loading have reached the HAVE_CURRENT_DATA state (or detected an error). This ensures intrinsic sizes are available so the layout can stabilize, it ensures that scripts can access metadata, and it ensures that the video is displaying something (if it's going to). Rob -- "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
