Apologies if it has already been mentioned in the issue, but could the webm project be nudged towards officializing their mimetype?

Subjectively I've seen a few more about that I think I used to.

And there are definitely some .webm files on some websites I support.



Can't say if they're more common in terms of hard data though. But if most

browsers expect them, arguably we should recognise their existence.



Usual disclaimer: I am not a python-dev.

The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from;

furthermore, if you do not like any of them, you can just wait for next

year's model. - Andrew S. Tanenbaum
