A good point. I know nothing about extending IE; would it be possible to
have an IE addon which implemented support for a <video> tag, or would
it need to be a plugin and therefore use <object>-style markup?
A script could easily fake <video> element using dynamically created
<object>. That's almost what SWFObject/QTObject scripts do now (and that's
probably de-facto standard for embedding interactive content since Eolas
patent).
I think in that case <video> is safest solution, because this gives acces
to alternative content (which is broken in IE6's <object>) and allows
script-controlled plugin detection and workarounds for bugs in
plugins/browser.
