While they may have a point with audio (though I doubt vorbis in mp4 is
standardized), I can't see what they could have offered in terms of video
unless "free" is the only thing you care about...
Also looking at the available (hardware) players, I'd say H264/AAC has long
since become the standard outside the web at least.
