Never mind the fact that you will have to go forward about 10 years before most browsers support HTML5 in it's entirety.

Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome, four of the top five browsers, now support the video tag. Despite the codec war, it can be argued that most browsers today do in fact support HTML5 enough to support the parent's comment.

Most people do not use browsers which support the video tag. Those people that do use a browser that does - well each of those browsers implements it differently.
