Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Come on, I think you know that interpolation doesn't increase the amount of information available. You're just being argumentative. Youtube's UI is absolutely fine for its intended purpose. In *most* cases, higher resolution = higher quality, and youtube know that 720p and 1080p *are* meaningful to the average user (thanks to HDTV advertising - which is also why they've kept the p suffix). Anyway, with respect to the actual discussion. My vote is to add two optional tags to <video>: bitrate="800" (in kb/s) and resolution="640x480" (native resolution). Then leave it up to the UA if they want to show a UI to choose, or pick automatically.
