W3C: Lynch on video: A 20-minute video interview with Adobe’s Chief Software Architect, Kevin Lynch, at the W3C Video on the Web Workshop earlier that month. I haven’t listened to it yet, but it likely pursues the Adobe position paper submitted to the conference: video needs extend beyond HTML browsers; we need improvement in metadata, search, quoting, text tracks, distribution controls, and delivery to multiple devices; and Adobe has no objections to a VIDEO tag whether the browsers change to

invoke the user’s choice of video engine that way: “[It would be useful to] set up video as a top level element in HTML, and support mapping to player technology. that could be approached even more generally, to enable better integration of technologies such as Flash Player with the HTML document object model.” More position papers are here, and there are additional video interviews with the W3C’s Steve Bratt and Doug Schepers.
