I was somewhat concerned with the script-only controls.  Your's is a neat
approach if you wanted a custom, scriptless UI for the element and I think
it may be a good idea to have scriptless UI controls.  I don't know what
people would say about the form as "extra code" on the minimalistic
<video>.

That said, if the video controls are built in via a fade-in menu like
iTunes video or (if they must) via a right-click menu, I think I could
live without scriptless UI controls.  They'd be nice, though.
