Shouldn't video codecs be done as plugins in browsers anyway?

Give us the tags to support it but leave it up to a plugin.

I know that multiple developers can focus on different parts of a browser's codebase at once, but it still doesn't make sense to me that a browser codebase should maintain a video codec as advanced as H.264 which constantly has room for performance/quality improvement.
