Me too. I'm game if you are!
So I propose:
1) Remove the NETWORK_LOADED state and "load" and "loadend" events from
media elements.
'loadend' also fires after 'abort' and (when using the src attribute)
'error'. Should that stay as is, or also be removed?
The resource fetch algorithm simply never transitions from
step 2 to step 3.
2) Modify Gecko and Webkit accordingly.
If we do part 2, which I think is already permitted by the spec, then
authors will stop depending on "load" whether or not we get consensus for
altering the spec.
