My OperaNew <video> element in HTML5?

Interesting item by Daniel at Opera Watch about an interview with everyone's favorite CTO, Håkon, about the OLPC project ($100 Linux-based laptop with Opera for developing countries and their yearning, smarty-pants kids). 
...But another item in the interview caught my attention.
Anne at Opera seems to working on and proposing a new video element object in HTML5 which would greatly simplify embedding video in web pages (without plug-in issues -- i.e., Flash, Quicktime, WMP, Real...!). WOW, great idea to evolve web standards as online video takes off! (As the product managers for each of the previously-mentioned plug-ins has smoke coming out of their ears.)
Give'em hell, Anne!
