<br>
This is a good argument against having a paused-poster.<br>
<br>
The question then is whether the end-poster needs to be different
from the start-poster. If the main use case is "re-display the
poster image so the user knows that they can play again", then the
end-poster and start-poster don't need to be different.<br>
<br>
Showing the poster at the end of playback is a matter of taste. How
about we remain with a single 'poster' attribute, and add a
'showposter' attibute, with values 'start', 'end', and 'both', which
denote when the poster is shown? Or the values could be enumerated
similar to how readyState and networkState are enumerated.<br>

I regard the load() function as a kind of reset() function.
But possibly we need an actual reset() function to return to
the original state where the poster image is displayed?<br>

It seems reasonable to me that subsequent calls to load() should
behave the same was the first call to load(), so the poster should
be redisplayed whenever load() is called. We should change the
load() algorithm to require the poster frame to be repainted, if
it's present.<br>
