...and we have Microsoft's Silverlight to thank for this, I presume. Sad, that a Microsoft product was more open than Adobe's. Anyhow, now that the spec is open, there are less excuses for not having a good FOSS flash player. Hopefully Gnash and SWFdec will be given a push forward following this announcement and info.
