title: What's the status of the HTML 5 <video> tag and webcam integration?
body: <p>Even though it seems to be in some kind of jeopardy, the open video standard is a great idea. I saw some demos on motion tracking with it - just proofs-of-concept, but interesting nonetheless. Now, I'd say that concepts like these would <em>really</em> be a gain, if there would be access to the user's webcam... Just imagine browsing through Flickr with your hands in mid-air.</p>
  
  <p>I have Googled a little, but I can't find any detailed discussion on the subject. It is mentioned in some places, but that doesn't get me very far. Does anybody know whether support for this is planned? If yes, any prognosis on the 'when'? ;-)</p>
  
  <p>Of course, I guess they'd have to dream up a pretty good security model for it..</p>
