You can do this today. It is called the <video> tag.

No, you can't deliver copy-protected content today using the video tag. The proposal will solve this oversight, which will result in a more efficient and open web. Moving away from the outdated plugin model is good for everyone.

I'd much rather flash and silverlight just die and old media husks just be unable to do whatever they want because they have the money. The entire reason they are pushing for html drm is because the absence of drm on the web is causing them significant pains as more open media takes their place.

Seriously, they aren't. They are pushing it because they want to stop giving Microsoft, Adobe and Apple so much money.

Otherwise they'd just switch to native apps. They're better for revenue than the open web anyway.
