HTML5 web video flashes past Flash

Irrelevant

Your point is irrelevant if the video itself is DRM'd - which of course most 'valuable' content is. HTML 5 <video> doesn't do DRM content, full stop.

Slight Exaggeration

Curious - can you confirm that it is easy to download any program you like from BBC iPlayer (which uses Flash on desktop browsers) with a Firefox plugin? Jeez, the BBC won't be happy...

DRM

How will the HTML5 <video> tag deal with DRM - we all hate it but big content providers won't allow a situation where you can right-click Save their videos. Other than apps on mob devices, which is a separate issue, what will be done on the desktop?
