It's IMO futile pushing much harder on the list - Hixie's the editor,
it's his decision, he's an honorable fellow and he's decided he really
can't honestly put Ogg Theora in the spec at present. So it goes back
to pushing Ogg Theora as the de facto format for the web.

Do you know what's the state about IE? (not from MS, but I suppose
someone will be doing/have made some IE plugin)
