Indeed.

I wonder, what percentage of browsers in use today > support <video>, and what percent have a working flash player? Well, there's 3 browsers. But Chrome is out (only betas, basically Windows only) and Opera is out (proprietary). So that leaves Firefox 3.5. But the shipping release of OpenBSD doesn't include it, and the next release of OpenBSD will include a version with known vulnerabilities. So good luck. :)
