My preference would be to provide a visible playback help link to a
simple overview page (pop-up?), essentially a better "Media help",
perhaps with a soft reference to open standards. Unfortunately,
community-created help pages tend to accumulate vast amounts of
instruction cruft that distracts from simple high-level information.

Whether for this or for other purposes, we need a tracking wiki page
that has a super-compact table of current browser support for
HTML5/Ogg Vorbis and Theora. Is there such a table already?
