I'd be afraid that I lose control of the flash with this. As things are now, I can safely disable the flash plugin and everything is fine. If someone is able to render flash within HTML5, how can I prevent it from doing so?

Well you can chose to disable pdf.js already; don't see why Mozilla wouldn't make swf.js configurable too. I'd expect flashblock plugins etc to continue to work also.

Anything that this can do, JavaScript can do. If you're worried about losing control with JavaScript, then you should already have that disabled.

It's this sort of person who will be calling to bring back flash, so all the annoying banners and CPU intensive code can be easily blocked.

In fact IE used to lose control, so it is disabled now.
