Yep.

We have performed most of our tests in "high bandwidth" scenarios 
("Since we know the network bit rate and the video bit rate, we can take 
the canplaythrough event as mandatory as well."). The only situation in 
which a difference exists is (4) reset, where playing has to be fired 
after canplay and right before canplaythrough. But, you are right, 
additional "low bandwidth" tests are a good addition. I'm thinking for 
example of a stall test ("The stall timeout is a user-agent defined 
length of time, which should be about three seconds.")
