[whatwg] video tag : loop for ever

[Kristof Zelechovski]

Multiple AUDIO elements require one request per element unless they refer to
the same stream or they use the data URL scheme, or the whole page is
packaged as multipart/mixed, which would indeed be nice for such sets of
small resources if only user agents supported it.

Remind me again what is wrong with multiple <audio> elements ?
