I'm not sure how correct this is, but I read somewhere (might've been on
here :P) that the HTML5 standard doesn't actually include the opensource
media stuff, because Microsoft and I think another corporation didn't
like it. However, Mozilla and most other groups have included it anyway.

Tell me if I'm wrong, I probably am, but just thought I'd mention it :)
