In the lack of agreement. Instead of removing the video section from the spec, we should be DEMOCRATIC, the codec that more vendors support should get in the spec, like the goverments are elected. In this case Ogg Theora will be suported by 3 vendors except Safari, so 3 vs 1, it should get in. Th

I'm arguing that it does matter what's in the spec, insofar that it should match what implementations do. Can we agree to disagree? We've narrowed codecs down to two. The spec could say that UA which supports MUST implement at least one of Theora or H.264. All vendors can comply with tha
