 Here's what we promised:
 "The Tor Project will design and implement improvements to allow Torbutton
 and/or the Tor Browser Bundle to allow users to stream native HTML5 video
 media which doesn’t require special plugins or Adobe Flash technology. We
 have developed prototype support for the HTML5 video streaming used by
 Youtube, Vimeo, and other popular video websites."

 The concrete deliverable (which shouldn't limit what we do, but also
 shouldn't be skipped entirely) is that Tor will "provide a detailed
 written report with its design to improve Torbutton to provide additional
 application layer security and improved streaming media support for Tor
 Browser Bundle users." by, if I have my math correct, May 2013.

 This project is intended to be a catch-all "security and privacy
 improvements to TBB" with a focus on making sure html5, and whatever other
 streaming media we can handle, get enough attention.
