Hi,
as far as I can see, the <audio> and <video> tags contain something that
could be made into a hyperlink to the actual multimedia content by a
browser (to be downloaded and used with for example mplayer).
I tend to ignore HTML5 as I think it has totally lost the original
spirit of HTML and is really intended purely as a medium for visual
advertising copy, and moreover for use by people who code by cutting and
pasting bad examples.
However, it was always my opinion that the IMG element was just a
special sort of link in terms of the original HTML philosophy and
therefore elements with names like audio and video may well best be
treated as links.
It's never going to work well, though, because people who use them will
use them to construct a single, compound, multimedia document, not to
generate a portion of web in which the HTML helps you to find video and
audio resources.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
