I think if the playback system is java in ~any browser~ we should
~softly~ "inform" people to get a browser with native support if they
want a high quality video playback experience.
The cortado applet is awesome ... but startup time of the java vm is
painful compared to other user experiences with video.. not to mention
seeking, buffering, and general interface responsiveness in comparison
to the native support.

But if they do, yes; our JS won't bother bringing up the Java applet if
it's got native support available.
It would be a four or five line patch to make OggHandler nag Safari
3/4 users to install XiphQT and give them the link to a download page.
The spot for the nag is already stubbed out in the code. Just say the
word.
