Wouldn't it make sense to have a provision for flash separately then? I
think a lot of apps would like just a picture instead of video, and in
those cases, flash would be required. Maybe a seperate provision in the
spec which defines whether to use flash, and if so, for how many
miliseconds. Is that doable?
