HTML is an open standard, try writing a strict HTML browser that fails on non-standard pages and then surfing the web. There is a huge difference between using HTML files internally generated by a process you control and trying to read anything calling its self an HTML file.
The same applies to MPEG4 there are plenty of files that work on one player but not another. EX: Wait you also want to open an 8k MPEG4 file on a phone?
PS: I wish everyone that suggests open solutions actually needed to implement one. Generally, when people say open solutions they really mean leverage some huge chunk of code that someone else wrote, or let me leverage your hardware and software for free.
