Maciej, > But I think the premise of the question misses the point of the > <video> element. I may very well be completely missing the point. I'll be satisfied if someone tells me that <video> is not intended to be the preferred way to embed video on web pages, in which case I'll quietly return to my corner. > People now commonly use Flash to write video players because the > old-school way of embedding video [...] was not capable or > consistent enough. There are lots of reasons that people use Flash, but it's no easier or harder to embed than any other player/runtime. > It is designed to embed video, not video players implemented in > other technologies. But in Safari, <video> = QuickTime. Is that not a player-centric rather than a content-centric design? -- Charles
