[whatwg] HTML5 video: frame accuracy / SMPTE

[Rob Coenen]

I'm really happy to see that Chromium has landed a fix for frame-accurate
seeking, making SMPTE timecode compliant operations with HTML5 video
possible.
The fix for Firefox is underway (
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626273 ) and I have filed bugs
at both Webkit/Safari ( https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52697) and
Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (
https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/636755 )

BTW I tried with Opera 11, but it would only allow me to seek to full
seconds, not frames?
