So, having native Ogg support in 0% of web browsers is better than
having it native in 10% of all web browsers *how*? Please explain that
to me because I don't seem to grasp your argument.
*Every* web standard started out at 0%. I simply pointed out that the
VM donation gives Ogg the opportunity to go native.
New Firefox users get a nice Ogg codec. Old users get your "Ogg decoder
in script" version (which takes quite a lot of CPU).
I don't see a conflict here. Besides, what make you think that Adobe
wouldn't grab a fully written Ogg codec and pull it backward into their
own VM? It gives them lots of leverage in their royalty negotiations
with other codec providers.
