I can explain how I think our proposed states and events directly  
translate to state changes in UI elements if that would help. We  
might want to consider a few use cases, such as YouTube presenting a  
low-bitrate short user-posted video, Apple's QuickTime trailer site  
presenting a movie trailer in high quality and HD resolution, etc.
