No mandatory audio and video codecs in HTML 5
,----[ Quote ]
| Ian Hickson, a Google employee involved in Google's work with the W3C and
| responsible for editing the forthcoming HTML 5 specification, has made a
| clean break with years of discussion regarding mandatory audio/video codecs
| in HTML 5. In a post on the WHATWG mailing list he says that, following
| endless public and private discussions, he has come to the conclusion that no
| codecs are likely to attract a consensus among the members of the Web
| Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) for integration into
| their browsers.

XHTML 2 to be discontinued
,----[ Quote ]
| It was supposed to be the biggest reform project in the history of the W3C.
| Yesterday, however, the web standardisation committee pulled the plug on
| XHTML 2, a project that had been on the road to disaster for years. According
| to the development schedule, the XHTML2 Working Group charter expires at the
| end of the year and will not be extended.

an update on open video codecs and quality
,----[ Quote ]
| Two days ago we posted a comparison by Greg Maxwell of low and medium
| resolution YouTube videos vs. Theora counterparts at the same bit rates. The
| result in that test was that Theora did much better at the low bit rate and
| more or less the same at the slightly higher bit rate. The conclusion being
| that Theora is perfectly appropriate for a site like YouTube.
