That's encouraging, but it seems that existing releases of Safari 3.x
already attempt to support the <video> tag without such an error event.
So, implementing for real users is already difficult.
If we want a solution that isn't broken for existing Safari users, we'll
probably have to resort to a browser-detection hack.
Also, throwing a JS exception isn't helpful for users without JavaScript
enabled.
Not trying to sound like a complainer - just want to make sure you're
aware of what actual implementers are running into.
Thanks,
