I would like to see videos working on mobile

Yet there seems to be two issues here.
1)  Cleaning up MobileFrontend code
We are stripping the ogg_player by parsing and cleaning up the HTML
We could probably do this in css/javascript instead.

2) Making videos work on mobile where supported
If we were to explore enabling videos on mobile we would have to look
at the ogg player javascript code associated with it and get it
working on mobile or create our own code that knows how to read it.

I'm also concerned about the size of the javascript module and since
it is not needed by every page I would argue that it should only be
loaded when the video is clicked (the existing extension may do this
or not I'm not clear):
