Probably because you manage to claim me saying something completely 
different from what I actually said. First of all I don't find it a very 
clever idea to add new, proprietary functionality to Firefox, forcing 
web authors to target only Firefox users if they intend to use the 
functionality. Second, I don't think any sane web author would do 
something like that, as he knows that he will only reach a tiny share of 
the potential audience.

In which sense would this give them leverage for royalty negotiations? 
Do you really think it is an option for Adobe to remove MP3 support from 
Flash and break any Flash movie making use of MP3 playback, even if they 
by and chance decide to add Vorbis support?
