Just to be clear, we only do click-to-play when the "controls" attribute
is set. So if that's causing problems for you, I guess you want most of our

Yes, but It hasn't been a problem since the preventDefault() bug was fixed
;)
(FTR, this is talking about

Also, at the time, the surface click to play was non-standard and
incredibly annoying because it just "showed up" as someone's pet feature in
Firefox. (I'm still not sure if it's a "standard" feature, I can't find
anything in the spec about it, but I could've just missed it)
That's hardly a fair characterization. Many (if not most) other
web-based video players work this way, and it's what people expect. This
was even noted as an "already widely-used video interaction" when the
bug to implement it was filed way back in 2009 (bug 518008).
