Unfortunately, there was no consensus on which video and audio codec HTML 5 should support which is rather sad. Apple preferred H.264, Mozilla preferred OGG Theora and OGG Vorbis, and Nokia... well from what I remember they said their previous mantra that OGG is patent encumbered.
Good to know regarding being able to block HTML5 ads.

I thought H.264 was encumbered as well, which was the big push for OGG, Vorbis and etc?
