> Every new feature in HTML 5 (except maybe 2) were added because developers wanted functionality already available in a plugin. Right. No one is saying plugins don't have their place. They're a great way to get things you need right now without browser vendors having to provide it for you. There are many reasons why it's better to eventually move this functionality into standards though. And I see no arguments for keeping functionality indefinitely in a plug-in.
