I\'m reluctant to use HTML5 becase it\'s not

Answer 1

I've just come across Cortado. It's a Java applet that plays an OGG. I actualy have to thank David Dorward for this, since checking up HTML5's status made me come across it. Firefox suggests using something like:

Java is available to FAR MORE platforms than flash, and, in this case, if just a fallback to HTML5.
