As the man in charge of the Coyopa project, which'll be fiddling with a lot
of our streams,
You mean this:

?
2. Flash streaming just works for most people, and as the TV iPlayer has
shown, a tremendously popular way of consuming content.
Not on mobiles. How about an Ogg stream with Cortado[1] for mobiles
(or other people who dislike Flash).
3. HTTP downloads are not possible
I think the idea was to stream over HTTP. (or something that is
similar enough to streaming that no one notices).
I'm sorry we have to use it. But we have to use it.
Is there no a more open streaming protocol one could use?
5. A pop-up player will continue to be available in iPlayer when radio
moves in.
Unfortunately there is not much the BBC can really do about stay on
top however. If the OS/Browser don't provide it then you're out of
luck. Some OSes let any window stay on top.
If only browsers supported video[2] and audio tags, and if there
was actually some base codecs defined that would work on any browser.
(chicken/egg?)
Beer, anyone?
Are you buying? ;)
