While I agree with your sentiment, I don't see a better option. The purpose of the HTML5 spec is to provide a unified web applications platform that supports the existing web in a practical manner. If the spec sticks with Theora as the baseline implementation, it runs the risk of no one implementing that part of the specification. If no one implements the Theora codec, then the attempts to standardize the <video> tag will be all for naught.
And again there is a lack of information. Opera have already implemented support for Ogg Theora and the <video> tag. (see http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=5545573096553082541&pr=goog-sl) Mozilla is on its way to implementing support for Ogg Theora and the <video> tag. The library in development for Firefox is universal and platform-independent (and of course open source), such that it could easily be integrated into IE or Safari. Regards, Silvia.
