There hasn't been a peep out of the IE developers about support for <video> or <audio>.

Thanks man.
From a browser with only 20% support for web standards, I'm not surprised.

Honestly though, this seems almost like a utorrent (and similar) vs Azureus/Vuze type of argument. Webkits are smaller resource usage, Mozilla is more control and additions. But seriously, get a decent comp and connection and the resource usage is a null argument.

XUL is kinda innate to Mozilla. It's built with it. You can eliminate the XUL used for the user interface outside of the browser frame (toolbar, statusbar, menus, etc) (as demonstrated by Camino, which uses Gecko for page rendering but native Cocoa for the UI), but XUL will still make up the rendering engine itself.
I agree that with today's computers resource consumption is somewhat moot, but my point is that because of WebKit's compact nature, it's more suited to mobile applications like smartphone and PDA browsers.

Smartphones and PDA browsers weren't really in the original discussion(in here), but it is now. We'll run with that. I will agree to that though.
IE has always been an annoying browser to me.... I'm not really going to care if it's gone... but if Facebook or Myspace starts to implement such... there might be an outcry for it.

You mean if they implement the <video>/<audio> tag? I think that would be the greatest thing in the world! Maybe more people would finally stop using IE.
PS:
And as the OP, idc if we go off topic ;) I'm cool like that.

Either that or IE will "step up the game" and buy someone out as the "new" IE9. (Opera maybe?)

Oh boy! I lul'd! I dunno... Is IE still as integrated as it was in XP?
