HTML5 has some audio/video elements, only now supported in a Mozilla 3.5 beta, that will map well to the new CNXML 0.6 elements.
HTML 5 specifies new audio and video elements. These map well to the CNXML 0.6 audio and video elements, though HTML doesn't wrap them in an equivalent of media.Audio attributes:
| HTML 5 |
CNXML 0.6 |
|---|---|
| autoplay | autoplay |
| autobuffer |
|
| controls |
controller |
| loop |
loop |
| src |
src |
| mime-type |
|
| volume |
|
| standby | |
| longdesc |
Video attributes:
| HTML 5 |
CNXML 0.6 |
|---|---|
| autoplay | autoplay |
| autobuffer | |
| controls | controller |
| loop | loop |
| src |
src |
| poster |
standby? |
| height |
height |
| width |
width |
| mime-type | |
| volume | |
| longdesc |
It will be some time before we can transform to these elements, since browser support is only just beginning, but it's nice to know we're on the right track.
We might want to consider some minor matching changes in a new revision of CNXML, probably adding 'autobuffer' and maybe synchronizing the 'controls' attribute.
