#16925: HTML5 video and audio are live on the page with Security Slider set to
highest

With the slider right up at highest it says "HTML5 video and audio media
become click-to-play via NoScript."
But HTML5 videos are completely live on pages I'm visiting where they are
embedded without any further user interaction.
I don't know the status of potential security issues and leaks with HTML5
video but nothing I have read on that topic provides any clear consensus
currently and I think video and audio should be blocked when security is
set to highest to let the user decide.
I.e the slider should do exactly what it says.
