Mozilla: Stick to your ideals but don't fall on your sword. The openness argument is worth making right now before HTML5 video takes off. It probably won't radically slow the adoption of HTML5 video, or change H264 being the preferred codec, but they might have a chance to make Theora and equal player. They just need to flip WebKit and Microsoft would probably follow. Not totally impossible. Worth the fight in my opinion. What Mozilla needs to be careful of is taking it too far and weakening their market share reducing diversity of browsers if HTML5 video really delivers a better experience than Flash video (and it probably will) This would only serve to strengthen Apple, Google and Microsoft's role in controlling the browser. Mozilla needs to know when they're beat and live to fight another day. I give it another 12-18 months or whenever IE9 hits Windows Update.
