Could it be wise to do it for KDE 4.3? In the meantime, we could celebrate this
feature request's second anniversary...

To illustrate the problem:
With Konqueror 4.2.0, I can "Preview in Dragon Player Part" to play any local
Ogg+Theora video inside the browser window. However, trying to play a video on
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Video pops up "Sorry, your system
does not appear to have any supported player software. Please download a
player". Regardless of technical details, this only appears to users as
Konqueror's plain unwillingness!

<video> and <audio> is _the_ solution, what we all want. Correct me if I am
wrong. For Wikipedia to start using it, and to fight today's diversity of
embedding, plugin and codec non-standards, the FOSS community needs every
(including KHTML's) support for the only good solution. For the sake of Theora,
sooner is better than later, in order to defacto-ise before Apple, Nokia or
anyone else says anything more.
