Hopefully Flash becomes an open standard at some point.  There is no way 
companies will invest in an even newer technology unless it has some 
great benefits.  Youtube and Google would need to be the first to pave 
the way for such a transition.  This is unlikely to happen, so we must 
hope that Flash is opened at some point :-)
