I concur. There's a site out there that converts (live, I believe),
whatever video you wish to watch to something that is HTML5 compliant,
so that if you have a decent browser, it will play it without the need
for plugins. In Linux, that's a Good Thing because it means your CPU
won't be hogged.
Unfortunately, last time I looked at it, it didn't work with Firefox as
FF only supported Ogg, or something similar. Works on some other
browsers, though.

Implying neither of the two major browsers (IE, Firefox) are decent.
I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that to effectively peddle your
newfangled HTML5 compliant format.

After having participated in the IETF, where nothing is a standard until
there are two independent interoperating implementations available to the
public, I always find W3C's standard process rather amusing.

Except for the minor issue that they are trying to describe a standard,
while everyone else is... well, lets just say that interoperable in this
context doesn't seem to mean, "Actually works the same in both
implementations". lol

*Who* is trying to describe a standard? W3C seems to make up "standards"
out of whole cloth, and then people get upset when those who are already
following de facto standards don't switch to use W3C's poorly thought-out
messes and make themselves unmarketable commodities at the same time.

At least the HTML5 compliant format works properly, when it works.
Unlike the Flash plugin.

From what I've seen, the W3C standards are _mostly_ reasonable, whereas
the ad-hoc made-up stuff that browser implementors come up with is a
nightmare.
Then again, W3C does from time to time come up with a few questionable
design decisions.
