@abarth: Does browser mime type sniffing behavior come into play here? Just wondering if the test is expecting the application/octet-stream MIME type to be sniffed, or whether it's testing whether the browser will dump off bytes to the "media engine" with a MIME type of application/octet-stream.

Video media type handling is a train wreck. It's unclear what the best behavior is.

http://test.w3.org/html/tests/approved/video/video_003.htm is a bogus test. The spec says: The canPlayType(type) method must return the empty string if type is a type that the user agent knows it cannot render or is the type "application/octet-stream" In other words if MUST return "" if the type is "application/octet-stream". The test, however, *fails* if it returns "" : if (vid.canPlayType("application/octet-stream") != "") { passTest(); } WebKit returns "" for "application/octet-stream": > vid.canPlayType("application/octet-stream") ""

If there's a bug in the test, this should be reported against the test suite.
