It’s also why any one (company or individual) contributing to the specs has to declare any patents that might affect their production. And is the reason they have just declared they are looking for prior art relating to an Apple patent that covers Widgets - if they didnt do this, it may encourage more participants to patent chunks of spec to gain leverage… I believe W3 has a charter that says all standards they produce are RF.

It'd be like them saying that all references had to be PNG and nobody could use GIF or JPEG anymore. Re: mobile handsets. Hardware accelerated decoding exists for h.264, it doesn't for theora. Case closed. “prevented Ogg Theora becoming the baseline standard in the spec”

There are Java, Plugin, Quicktime, download link and soon ActiveX fallbacks for Ogg Theora video so it can be viewed across the vast majority of systems. See Wikipedia for how they are doing this. The only real benefit you get from "Video for Everyone" double encoding is iPhone support, which is ironic as it is Apple and their iPhone marketshare which has prevented Ogg Theora becoming the baseline standard in the spec. Having content available in royalty free content formats will help to convince other manufactures (e.g. Palm Pre) to implement Ogg Theora. Please don’t support H.264 in the Video tag.
