The draft of the HTML5 specification has been under discussion for a while now, but despite the fact that it's not yet finished, all major browsers have implemented at least the most important aspects of it - except Microsoft. The company did provide substantive criticism of the specification in early August, but now the company has also endorsed the video and audio tags.

Also, the MPEG-LA H.264 change in licencing in 2011 will see to the success of OGG. Do you think blogs are going to publihs H.264 when you’ve got the ‘performance’-police on the prowl?

Users aren't going to faff about with installing codecs and developers aren't going to go for something where users have to go back to that, or where they cannot be sure of what is at the client end on any platform.
That's how we have ended up going from specific video/audio formats like Real on the web to Flash simply becoming a de facto standard. I don't see it changing.
