I would like to go back in time to 1993 and make Tim Berners-Lee add video support to the <img> element so that we could do things like this today:
<img src="video.mp4" width="800" height="450" volume="0" autoplay loop>
If this had happened no one would need to use GIFs. :(

- espadrine 12y agoBesides, it's easy today to frown upon the choices made at a time where common image formats included XBM, a plain text subset of C! One day, people will be sad that we didn't anticipate 3d models in <img>. It makes no sense to add support with the current state of technology.
