[whatwg] video tag : loop for ever

Multiple AUDIO elements require one request per element unless they refer to
the same stream or they use the data URL scheme, or the whole page is
packaged as multipart/mixed, which would indeed be nice for such sets of
small resources if only user agents supported it.
