Html5test.com currently uses a workaround for codec detection on the iPhone. This workaround will probably be removed in an upcoming version of the test. The result is that Safari for the iPhone will no longer score bonus points for codecs.

The idea is that if you can't properly detect a codec, it is not properly supported. Especially on mobile devices canPlayType is essential, because you can't simply try to load the stream and see what happens.
