See if you can persuade someone at the BBC that there are people who

I'd agree. But I suspect that the methods are dictated by those in charge
who feel it necessary for 'content access control' reasons to keep medja
lawyers happy. It won't bother them if that dictates only one browser or a
limited set of methods. Once one is usable they can say they've provided a
method we can use.

This may change - I hope it does, because I agree that choice is needed.
But to discuss this it helps me to establish what is possible now with the
4.0 test streams. I have more chance now to put arguments than when things
become set as practice.

However at present I have no idea even of which version(s) of Chrome with
which distro(s) work, and what doesn't.
