Yes! Let's save some bandwidth. It is great that there is no licensing involved. What is also wonderful with the speed that browsers are being updated we can get a high percentage of adoption of new codecs without depending on proprietary browser plugins AKA Flash.

I'll also mention that the ON2 people write great code which is also well documented. I had an opportunity to work with their VP6 decoder in a previous career / life time.
