I'd drop the word experience. It's superfluous marketing speak.
So the notice chain I'm planning on adding to the simple <video/> compatibility JS is something like this:
If the user is using safari4 on a desktop system and doesn't have xiphqt: * Advise the user to install XiphQT (note, there should be a good installer available soon)
The rational being that if they are known to use safari now they probably will in the future, better to get them to install XiphQT than to hope they'll continue using another browser.
If the users is using any of a list of platforms known to support firefox: * Advise them to use firefox 3.5
Otherwise say nothing. It would be silly at this time to be advising users of some non-firefox-supporting mobile device that firefox 3.5 provides the best experience. ;)
