They want to propose an API which would allow proprietary closed source binary blobs to display videos. In other words: They are pushing "yet another Flash" into HTML5.
- asadotzler 13y agoA "Flash" without the (in)security footprint of an entire runtime duplicating Web standards, I think you mean.
