 ## Future improvements
 
+### Embedded audio/video player in browsers
+
+* For a given enclosure, depending on autodetected MIME:
+    * `audio/*` -> `<audio>`
+    * `video/*` -> `<video>`
+* For a given template:
+    * `page.tmpl` -> eagerly fetch media
+    * `inlinepage.tmpl` -> fetch just enough to display durations
+* Only for HTML5 sites, or also okay for XHTML?
+* Does this work well enough in enough browsers, or do we need a
+  JavaScript player to fill in some gaps?
+
