This is correct behavior - default handler invocation is not part of event dispatch. It always happens after event dispatch unless the event is canceled (via calling preventDefault() or returning false from a handler). Resolving as INVALID.

Why are you saying that this is a bug? Are we doing something different from other browsers?

You should be able to implement the desired behavior by not using default handling, and instead implementing navigation in JS after checking event.target. Also, you could just position the video element on top of the link without making it a child of <a>.

The situation with video is a special case. Eric told me about it some time ago, but I don't remember the details - there may be another suggestion floating around.
