But it's far more specific than <object> and exposes a streamlined API for video usages. Anyway, I guess the "why?" question is better delt with on the whatwg mailing list. Personally I don't really care if it's <object>, <video>, <streamingmedia> or <whatever> as long as the recommended functionality is still implementable in truly free software. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
