On a somewhat related note, J-CAR allows for importation of these audio
and video formats to be displayed inside Joomla and play natively in
Firefox and Chrome

Subject: [Dspace-tech] HTML5 and the future of DSpace
There has been a good deal of talk in development circles about the
future of HTML, especially as it concerns HTML5. Several new elements
are being added to the HTML standard that seem advantageous to many
developers. Some new elements like nav, header, footer, and figure, are
semantically advantageous. Other elements will add certain capabilities
to HTML5 compliant browsers. For example, the audio and video elements
will allow audio and video files to be directly embedded in the same way
that images currently are. HTML5 compliant browsers will be expected to
provide some support for embedded video and audio without relying on
third party plugins. For example, both Firefox 3.5 and Chrome 3 already
provide built in support for open video and audio created with Vorbis
and Theora (ie. .ogv, oga).
I was curious to know if DSpace developers have given any discussion to
DSpace and these new developments in HTML5. Will near-future versions of
DSpace and DSpace themes support these new element tags? With open video
and audio formats be added to the default metadata registry at any time
in the near future?
