[whatwg] Video codec requirements changed

[Manuel Amador (Rudd-O)]

I'd rephrase it as

# Has had traction, time and exposure in the market, enough so patent threats 
should have arisen already.

Which is basically the same meaning, and includes Ogg Vorbis technology.  
Because if America Online (Winamp) is not a big company, then I don't know 
the meaning of the word "big".

I'd also not use a hash to denote a bullet point ;-).
