The browser platform (e.g. WebKit), the multimedia platform (e.g. QuickTime)
or the OS platform (e.g. Mac OS X)?

So for Safari on both Macintosh and Windows, is Apple's intent that <video>
will only work for formats supported by QuickTime?

And given that little internet content targets QuickTime, who exactly will
be using the <video> tag?

Sorry if these seem like really stupid questions, but these don't seem to be
addressed by the spec.
