It's actually quite different, on a technical level and for the user. Flash is a browser plugin and XiphQT is an additional Quicktime codec. Quicktime has supported third party codec for years; the whole point of this is that any app which uses Quicktime can make use of these third party codecs ? like Safari does. A browser plugin like Flash OTOH is useless outside the browser. So like I said: these are quite different things on several level.
