Even if Apple decides to implement Ogg Theora, iPod users will still get QuickTime served and get a better rendering because the common codec is the failsafe solution and will be specified as the last one. This phenomenon is expected to happen for any platform, not just Apple's. I cannot see how this effect can be perceived as diminishing the significance of the HTML specification, however. I believe proprietary codecs will always be better than public domain codecs, until hardware development makes this question irrelevant, because this application requires a large investment in research. I understand that the reason for rejecting MPEG-1 as a fallback mechanism is that the servers will not serve it because of increased bandwidth usage, right? Cheers, Chris
