I'm now being told that our workaround of checking for system mime
types stopped working and isn't working for users with Safari 4.0.2
and fresh XiphQT installs.
We've been doing querying navigator.plugins to look for 'video/ogg'
since canPlayType fails for Ogg/Theora even when XiphQT is installed
for current Safari (I understand that this is fixed in development
builds).
I'm trying to figure out where the plugin mime detection workaround
stopped and why.
I don't think we did anything intentional in 4.0.2 to break detection
of XiphQT. If you have a solid reproducible case, please file a bug.
On the other hand, I suspect the canPlayType fix will have shipped by
the time we manage to do any fixes for the navigator.plugins technique.
