Hi, when mobile WP was in its childhood, it was decided that we're not
ready to display videos on our pages, so they were stripped. And
stripped very crudely, by removing just #ogg_player_1 and
#ogg_player_2 so that only first two videos on a page were removed.
What are your opinions - shoudld we continue doing this?

So, here's the thing -- we've dropped OggHandler and switched to TimedMediaHandler which outputs its markup differently -- the new system is not stripped by MobileFrontend!

Videos used in the wikis today actually output a <video> element pointing by default to a WebM source. These actually work in Chrome and Firefox on Android... but iOS and other non-Android systems will generally not have WebM support and will show a "broken video" placeholder.

We're still kinda talking internally about license issues for H.264 support... whee
