BTW, people stating similar media content on html5 is more efficient than Flash 10.1 final are probably people that have html5 as a vested interest to state such. They are both similar in their resource utilization, but Steve Hand Jobs is pushing html5 for less than "honest" reasons.
My vested interest is wanting to get rid of unsupported binary blobs that are, due to historical reasons, necessary to view common web content. Efficiency is the least of my concerns - considering past experiences I would rather have a jittery video than a buttery smooth "UPGRADE TO THE NEWEST VERSION OF FLASH".
Good point about blob/module dependency.
