Right. This item was primarily there to justify something like the  
current draft-terriberry-oggopus being discussed in the codec WG. Such  
a deliverable is needed to allow Opus to be served in the HTML5  
<audio> tag. After consultation with various ADs concluded that they  
wanted that work done in codec, we were able to add a deliverable for  
it based on some implicit language in the charter, but I wanted to be  
more explicit about it this time. The HTML5 <video> tag is still an  
important use case to me, DASH or no DASH.

Whether that file format (or formats) should support live streaming (a  
la WebM, Ogg, and MPEG-TS) or chunked delivery or any of a number of  
other possible container features is probably a subject for  
requirements, as Ralph said, and not for the charter, in my personal  
opinion.
