Maybe you'd try testing all the video types you support, and

Right. Or you might have plugin-based fallback you can use if you get
"maybe". Other authors with no plugin-based fallback would go ahead if
they
get "maybe".
Programmers expect binary logic,
not ternary (look at the complaints about SQL's NULL).
I agree. In the past I argued for two boolean functions.
Anyway, it's a little late now to change canPlayType more than we just
did.
There is already deployed content checking for "probably"/"maybe".
Not really, the spec isn't stable yet and all deployed content is still
experimental. We still have a chance to fix broken APIs (or live with them
for 100 years).
