I just played some more with our internal implementation (Opera's) and
noticed that our pause() really is like togglePause() in the HTML5
proposal. Looking at the specification I don't see much need for
pause() there. Perhaps togglePause() should just become pause() and
pause() be removed?
I would suggest the opposite. For basic actions like play and pause,
play() and pause() are the most natural options. I question whether we
need a command to toggle between play/pause at all. Any UI which uses a
combined play/resume button has to know which state it is, so it already
knows which command is relevant.

What's good for UI (a play/pause toggle button) isn't necessarily good for
API. play() should only start playback (and do nothing if it's already
playing), pause() should only pause (and do nothing if it's stopped). The
spec also mentions a property to find out the current state.
