Animated GIF, anyone? > <video> gives clear semantics: Video. Does it begin to run automatically? Can be paused? Saved? What happens if there are two videos on the same page? Are they synchronized? Which one gets to play the audio? Is there any UI around the video which takes away space? Just because something is labled as "video", it's semantics aren't suddenly clear. As for the motivation for the tag, I can only speculate. A lot of webpages nowadays use flash video with custom-written player controls, which does create problems for indexing and archival. But videos with a "Save As..." context menu aren't in the interests of the content distributors, I guess. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
