Why is it necessary for HTML5 to specify a codec for the <video> and <audio> tag when no format is specified for <img>? (I'm not being rhetorical)

- othermaciej 16y agoIt's not really necessary, and so far the HTML5 spec hasn't done so. However, it would be useful if all browsers had at least one codec in common. GIF and JPEG became de facto standard image formats because all browsers supported them, even though there was no de jure requirement.
