We here at OSNews have taken somewhat of an interest in the new HTML5 video and audio tags, which should - some day - make embedding audio and video material into web pages as easy and straightforward as embedding images, allowing the web to finally remove the shackles of dreadful Flash video. Sadly, the problem with these new tags are the codecs; as it turns out, browser makers have not reached an agreement about what codecs to choose for video, with mostly Apple throwing a spanner in the works, and Microsoft shining in absence.

Are you saying that MPEG standards are acceptable? Because, well, AAC is defined by both MPEG-2 part 7 and MPEG-4 part 3 and by ISO.

Besides it is possible to do everything royalty-free. FAAC en FAAD (open source encoder and decoder) didn't pay a single € to anyone.
