Comment:
It's very common for many application to require access to the number of video
frames, as well as to have the ability to seek to a given frame. Think of a
video editor. There is no notion of a video frame here. We should add fields,
like "currentFrame", and "numberOfFrames"

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Agreed that we probably want to do this one day. I don't know that today is that day, though. We should wait for browsers to fully implement the many new features like subtitles and multitrack synchronisation before adding more.
