The entire problem is that it is not simple. It is less simple to spec,
less simple to declare, less simple to parse, and less simple to test,
and there is zero real-world gain in it.
<sarcasm>Oh! Then just drop <video> completly. Better, drop html5 and
there will be even less trouble with specifications.</sarcasm>
If you can come up with a argument that supports a float value, like a
real world use case, other than "we don't feel like editing the spec to
add better, more robust functionality", then you have my support :)
