Compromising is not a good idea per se. It's only a good idea if it advances your goals more than refusing to compromises. Some compromises are bad and should not be accepted. If you put enough importance on open standards, a fragmented web where authors need to provide both H.264 and Theora to get optimal functionality is *better* than one where everyone can just provide H.264 and ignores Theora. In the first case, Theora will improve and become well-known, and maybe stand a chance of eventually winning the format war. In the second, Theora has lost, permanently. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
