It's just a draft yet so it's not an open standard yet http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-04 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-ht

  So, is HTML5 not an open standard either? I had understood that in the common parlance it was.

    We're kind of splitting hairs at this point, but HTML5's standardization is a foregone conclusion given that it is backed by all major browsers. This protocol from Apple is just a proposal and it may never be adopted by other vendors or any standards body, which would leave it as an open non-standard protocol.

      Cool, thanks for the info. I guess if it's splitting hairs, then Apple is at least reasonably justified in making the claim they do.
