​So, can I confirm here that you mean polyfill in the same way ​Remy Sharp
did?  That is, a piece of Javascript that replicates an API and
functionality that the browser lacks?

And so you are asserting that there are downloadable Javascript bits that
replicate both the audio functionality and relevant API, but there are no
downloadable Javascript bits that replicate the video functionality and
relevant API?

Have I gotten your meaning?
