Yes, well that is what makes OpenLaszlo or other JS frameworks such a success, you don't need to fight with the problems in the browser universe as the JS-Framework should do it for you.
About streaming in HTML5 there was recently a spec published and I even blogged about it: http://opensourcewebconferencing.blogspot.com/2011/10/review-real-time-specification-api-of.html The reason why I don't believe there will be a suitable OpenSource video streaming solution in HTML5 soon is that, not even for pure video playback browser vendors have been able to establish an (open) standard / codec in that past 1-2 years. There has been some "enthusiasm" around Google open sourcing VP8 Codec... however, after some months it turns out that still 99% watching Youtube videos using Flash-Technology. I don't know any significant website except Mozilla Firefox announcement videos that use HTML5-Video. Things might be different on mobile devices where there is no flash at all.
