HLS Isn’t supported natively in a lot of browsers. Chrome doesn’t. It’s pretty easy to shim with Media Extensions so it’s fine to use but just sticking it as a src property in a lot of browsers it won’t work.
Personally I think that the Media Extensions API is going to be the primary mechanism for adding new codecs and transports moving forward as opposed to having the browsers need to implement all the options.
