[whatwg] audio and video: volume and muted as content attributes?

[Kevin Marks]

Setting volume above 1.0 can be very useful if the original is too quiet.
For example, Quicktime allows a volume of 300% to amplify quiet tracks

This would make volume even more special, as a float that reflects as an
integer percentage. Just using the existing definition for reflecting a
float would be simpler.

I'd be fine with reflecting muted if many people think it would be useful.
I'm not the one to make that judgment though.

Volume isn't a huge problem, just not as trivial as one might suspect.
Another thing to consider is that it is currently impossible to set volume
to a value outside the range [0,1] via the DOM API. With a content
attribute, volume="-1" and volume="1.1" would need to be handled too. I'd
prefer it being ignored rather than being clamped.
