So you want "canPlayType" to mean one thing when provided a type without
codecs, and another thing when provided a type with codecs. I don't think
that's a good idea.

reopened this discussion months ago, not now that two browsers have just
shipped support for the API in the spec.

healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his
own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all." [Isaiah
