The spec could say that UA which supports <video> MUST implement at least one of Theora or H.264. All vendors can comply with that, and that's better than not specifying any codecs at all (e.g. doesn't allow browsers to support WMV only). Similarly, authors publishing <video> MUST put at least one source in Theora or H.264, SHOULD publish both. That's probably what authors will have to do to achieve interoperability in current situation. These requirements won't ensure full interoperability - that is not possible with the impasse we have - but will match implementations, make situation clearer for authors and disallow even less interoperable implementations. -- regards, Kornel
