Right, so you want to be able to toggle the poster back on (when
the media is paused or ended) but after playback has started.<br>
<br>
I wonder if these are separate use cases, e.g. whether users would
want to display a different image from the poster image in these
cases. i.e. I wonder if we need to provide an attribute to specify
an image to display when paused and another new attribute for an
image to display when playback has ended. I wonder if that's
overkill through.<br>

No no no! Read my previous post why a "paused poster" is bad idea
unless done exactly as I suggested there.<br>
A "paused poster" should under no circumstance "steal" the paused
frame, the user may actually want to look closer at the pause frame,
if a "paused poster" force itself to be displayed the user will be
pretty pissed. (I certainly would be)<br>
The video streaming service Voddler is an annoying example of this,
pause the movie in their player and an ad is shown, although I
understand why they wish to show an ad, it does makes it impossible
to pause and look at the still frame of the video. <br><div class="im">
