So, nobody cares about more widely adopted <object/> which was supposed to be a solution for future media types and just happens to usually be more stable, have better perfomance and support much more media formats without having to invent new elements for each media type. Not even as a fallback.

>The plugin mentioned at the end won't work - not unless it's going to have a tedious whitelist.

RequestPolicy (Firefox addon) works just fine, not much tedious than NoScript or CookieMonster, for example.

While remotely hosted images may be a strong argument, if the page breaks due to missing fonts or scripts - it's really only site's fault.

>Flash soars with video because of hardware acceleration and active streaming

Hardware acceleration and streaming works fine even with HTML4 <OBJECT/>, providing the choice and configuration of media player if user desires.
