Opera has some internal expiremental builds with an implementation of a

play()
pause()
stop()
May I suggest Opera does not implement features that are incompatible
with SMIL, the SMIL implementation in Internet Explorer, and SVG for
no extraordinarily good reason?
The element is very much a proposal, as mentioned at the bottom of my
original e-mail. This can still be aligned with other APIs. However,
looking at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/behaviors/reference/time2/elements/video.asp
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533477.aspx
I'm not sure we want to integrate that given that it requires some kind of
namespace support in text/html. The other thing is that 'mediacomplete'
seems to require that the video is completely loaded first which is (a)
not always something you want and (b) we have a 'load' event for that.
It's not really clear to me how it differs much from SVG:

In any case, if more alignment is needed that's certainly possible.
