Description Cyril Concolato 2013-11-08 09:38:19 UTC 
The Media Capture and Streams draft spec adds an srcObject attribute to the HTMLMediaElement [1]. 
It is considered for the Media Source Extension specification to also rely on srcObject instead of URL.createObjectURL [2] since many people in the WebApps WG think the use of URL.createObjectURL should be avoided [2]. 

So, it would be preferable if the definition of this srcObject attribute was in the HTML5 spec in particular to care for 'the resource load algorithm'.

This is now described in 5.1 http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/semantics.html#dom-media-srcobject so I think that bug can be closed.
