[whatwg] HTML5 video element - default to fallback in cases where UA can't play format from Kit Grose on 2009-12-03 (public-whatwg-archive@w3.org from December 2009)

It seems counterintuitive to me that having produced fallback content  
already, I still need to use Javascript to test for compatibility  
(even if I *did* generate two formats, there's obviously no guarantee  
IE9 won't come out requiring WMV or a similar issue with a different  
UA).

Are there any other elements in HTML that _require_ Javascript to  
provide a good UX?
