Note that the Mozilla implementation I proposed has had a counter
proposal by another mozilla developer and is being developed further.
See:

Thanks. Taking a further look at that.
Reviving thread...
I have an initial patch in webkit (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/77394)
and the chromium work is underway - I wonder what might be a good approach
to drive the apis closer together towards a real spec that everyone is happy
with?
There seems to be a lot of general agreement here (at least in principal
:-) that this is needed. We'll be doing a bunch of experimentation once this
has landed in chromium.
I've landed support for some Mozilla-specific video decoding/painting
statistics in Firefox trunk (tracking in Mozilla bug 580531 mentioned
above), it should ship in Firefox 5 in a few months. For a few details, see:
