This is basically what Philip and I were discussing in the other thread
yesterday, where we avoid the unnecessary overhead of creating a magic
URL, and instead just assign the object directly to the src property.
This lets the implementation handle all the magic transparently in the
background, without bothering to expose a URLs string to the author.
And I was arguing that we could avoid creating the probably somewhat
heavy stream object if we could just assign the url, or perhaps
some DOMURL object to video/audio.src.
I don't really understand what you mean by the stream object being
heavy. It's necessary anyway because it contains useful methods and
events, and so the URL object you are suggesting is an unnecessary
indirection that only serves to complicate things.
