Short blog post today.

Reading @jake74′s excellent post http://www.systemerror.co.uk/2010/02/05/html5-video/ about the <video> tag only served to re-ignite my frustrations over its implementation. I love the implications of the tag, but the codec situation along with differing opinions from the browser vendors is stifling what could be something very useful for us developers.

Am I the only one seeing another Linux-like outcome arising from this? Many different approaches to the same problem preventing one from ever truly taking hold, and so dooming it to the provinces of the hardcore developers, with only the users truly suffering.

Have we already killed it? I hope not.
