OLPC has never had support for <video> and <audio>, so our projects have built up content around <a>. Thats why it makes sense for us - we're breaking a lot of our existing content with our move to webkit :( <a> *is* the common case in our corner of the world.

But I can see your point about <video> being the way forward, at least in the wider view of things.

I did not get a very encouraging response about adding Xv acceleration into the inbuilt video code - I was told it will move to OpenGL, which would mean we would be left with absolutely no webkit-internal video support on our platform, we don't have OpenGL. Anyway, I will poke a bit more with your response in mind.

If I don't make progress on that track, would you consider a similar patch to the one posted here, but controlled by a runtime configuration option, off by default?
