Comment (by vbraun):
I think the whole premise of "showing animations in a certain format" is
misguided. Users care either about
* actually seeing the animation play, or
* saving an animation in a particular format to be used elsewhere.
But "showing in a particular format" is just bad UX, you are designing
around technical abilities instead of what a user might want. This could
also be said about the `viewer=...` argument for 3-d plots, but there we
really don't have a truly good option so we need to give the user a way to
choose between the devil and the deep sea. But GIF/APNG/Webm animations
presumably all look the same to a human, so there is no point to expose
those details when showing an animation.
