With Perian trunk and Webkit nightly, I seem to be able to play webm inside video tags just fine.  (The released Safari seems to have issues with the type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' attribute inside a source tag and not even try to play)

I'm aware of at least one fix dealing with how we handle a codecs parameter containing double quotes:

This was fixed recently and might explain the progression. I haven't done a proper bisection with a test case so I don't know for sure.

I'm going to close this since it doesn't sound like there are any WebKit bugs here.
