The <video> element offers an interface to the native media playback
capabilities of the platform. It is not a plug-in mechanism and it is
not suitable for embedding things like Flash or Silverlight. There are
existing mechanisms for that.
Since there is no plug-in the concept of "plug-in's native controls"
is not really applicable.
