Ah. I see the problem. The spec for the
video tag is inconsistent with the behavior of all of the previous tags that did the same thing. For example, the
<embed> tag
requires you to specify
autostart="false" or else it automatically plays.
So I still say "file a bug", but file it with the W3C and tell them that they need to fix the spec so that browsers are required to handle
autostart="false" and
autostart="true" in the obvious way.
