How to help convince Google not to foul up HTML5 <video>?

Summary: Google Chrome includes Ogg support for the <video> element.
It also includes H.264 support. Fine, but ... they're also testing
HTML5 YouTube *only* for H.264.

Mike Shaver from Mozilla has fairly unambiguously asked Chris diBona
from Google what the heck Google thinks it's doing:

Google appears to want Ogg support, but strictly as a sideline for
H.264 support. Is there anyone around the Foundation who can ask them
"wtf?"


- d.
