Re: webtv-ISSUE-18 (JanL): Video tag support of MPEG2-TS [HOME_NETWORK_TF]

Hello,

 

I would be concerned if the HTML5 <video> tag lacked a mechanism to
allow application specific extension methods sets to be identified. This
would be separate from "codec" considerations.

 

I (personally) am not convinced a one-size-fits-all HTML5 serves the
interests of various ecosystems planning to use HTML5. A well
architected extension mechanism would address these concerns. I think
this is a necessity for HTML5 to avoid the fragmentation that has
occurred in the past due to incomplete standardization in HTML.

 

I would suggest the existing use case be broadened in this way.
