http://www.youtube.com/html5 looks like progress.

"This is an opt-in experiment for HTML5 support on YouTube. If you are
using a supported browser, you can choose to use the HTML5 player
instead of the Flash player for most videos. "

"Supported Browsers
We support browsers that support both the video tag in HTML5 and
either the h.264 video codec or the WebM format (with VP8 codec).
These include:
Firefox (WebM enabled version coming soon)
Google Chrome (h.264 supported now, WebM enabled version coming soon)
Opera (WebM enabled version coming soon)
Apple Safari (h.264, version 4+)
Microsoft Internet Explorer with Google Chrome Frame installed (Get
Google Chrome Frame)"

The WebM's not there yet, sadly.

> If not, please could there be? :-)

I tried view-source to see if an ffmpeg-able h.264 url was obvious,
but it seems hidden away in javascript somewhere...
