Yes, sure, I love to advocate adobe/similarcompany and modify my video -
http://tinyvid.tv/show/2dz18ka146nfz , Provided they should do it in Client
side so source can be seen.* Providing a server side or similar rendering
system which use 'Canvas' for displaying everything inside canvas from
server side is as bad as flash player/plugin.Web may be hidden again under
pixels.*

We can't stop anyone. Advocate SVG and making SVG-animation support with SVG
animation authoring tools is a good way to reduce 'server side canvas
rendering'.
