You're right - sorry. 

So my view on that: I tried various different ways of hosting video on my site,
and the <video> tag is by far the most convenient and best working version. 

So I urge you to look at it from the small webdevelopers side: The <video> tag
makes including video as easy as including images, so it opens up online-videos
for every webauthor. 

You don't need more than a simple FTP-server (maybe including a .htaccess file
for the video/theora mimetype) and minimal HTML-skills to host your selfmade
videos. It would for example allow kdenlive to add an option "create an
accompanying website for your video and upload it to your FTP server". 

Even the (now closed) geocities accounts had enough power for hosting videos
with the video-tag. 

Naturally I'm biased: I want my sites to work as easy as possible, without the
need of any convoluted java- or flashscripts. And I want to allow people who
visit my sites to directly play my songs and videos without having to start an
external program. 

Since I am a KDE user, I want KDE users to be able to use my website easily,
and for reaching both of these goals, I need <video> support konqueror. 

So please include the patch in 4.4. 

How I use <audio> and <video>:
