Furthermore I'm not sure I agree with Ian's argument for holding out
until the browsers support the current API more reliably. My
experience has
shown that there are numerous cross-browser incompatibilities in the
existing implementations of more trivial features, yet we are not waiting
for all of those to get resolved before adding support for, say, native
video. So why should this be any different?
The argument Ian made was not support for feature A is brittle so we
should not do feature B. It was support for feature A is brittle so we
should do not do feature A-2 just yet.
Anyway, I'm new to this group and don't know much about how decisions are
usually made here, but in case there was any doubt about this idea's
popularity I'd like to lend it my own +1.
Decisions are usually made based on merit, not popularity.
