right.

That's changeable. And you seem to be totally ignoring that this is
the thrust of someone else's request.

Note that I'm not the one asking for it. Just trying to explain it to
you since you seem to be doing a good job of totally missing the
point.

No no.

If a browser can decode a frame or sequence of frames from an ogg,
then it can display them, and since it can display various image
formats in <img> (jpg, gif, png, apng, potentially mng, and in future
geckos SVG), then someone (not me!) is merely suggesting that ogg be
another one, either as a single frame or an animated sequence.
