That's not the question. The question is whether the looping attributes are needed at all. It seems that there's some desire for simple looping, e.g.
background sounds. That does not require the five attributes the
specification currently provides though. Rather, it requires one simple
boolean attribute.

I agree. I think the simple boolean attribute seems clearer and more
useful. Which attributes exactly are being considered for removal? I'm
assuming these ones:

 playCount
 loopStart
 loopEnd
 currentLoop

start and end would remain, yes?

After thinking about this, I'm not sure that limiting playback to a section of a media file will be used very often. A developer can easily script the same functionality as long as they don't use the default controller, so it seems to me that attributes for this aren't warranted.
