Wishful thinking, because all the pre-existing sites full of Flash will
not be converted for you.

Though I agree with the sentiment, it would be good to do without the
unnecessary use of Flash.  However I don't see the replacement doing
away with encumbered data formats, ogg theora got dropped as the
multi-media format.  We're likely to have yet another encumbered format
foisted upon everyone, as everyone knows that everyone uses Windows,
with a few Mac users, all of which will get a licensed player...
