Assorted inanity.

 

Has anyone written an all HTML5/non-Flash Tumblr theme?

One that plays all media —- audio, photos, and video —- via HTML5 tags instead of through Flash wrappers?

Audio/MP3 posts, for example, are simply embedded in Flash wrappers/players that could just as well be played via QuickTime/HTML5 using native controls.

Audio posts play fine on the iPhone using QuickTime, so they’re obviously playable without Flash.

Multiple-photo posts are displayed within a slideshow wrapper on the desktop, but are just displayed natively as a list of photos on the iPhone.

And can’t a theme be written to show an h.264/MP4 embedded video when available instead of a Flash version?

Of course, the theme can fall back to Flash players/wrappers if native versions of content are not available/parseable, i.e. a Flash-only embedded video or audio stream.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
