Why isn't type allowed for <video> and <audio>? I know it doesn't strictly make sense (since the tag doesn't have a type per-se), but perhaps it could be an alias for the current item's type, much in the same way src is the current source. > ??It isn't hard to update a server if you control it, but it can be *very* > difficult and time consuming if you don't (as is the case with most web > developers, I assume). Correct - but being able to manually specify "type" should be fine for those situations, since that can be written into the HTML itself. > ??Really?

However, I think this reemphasizes my original point: The Flash platform *isn't* strict about MIME types, so we've never bothered to do anything about it.
