[publican-list] RFC: Publican 4.2 changes

[Jared MORGAN]

Hey Jeff

Of particular interest to me is the video playback behavior in Publican 4.2.

I noticed that the first (webm) video started playing automatically, but the other two videos did not begin playing when the page loaded. This solves an issue I currently have with two videos embedded in close proximity to each other playing simultaneously. So great work on this.

What I think would be even better is to not automatically play *any* video content upon page load, if that's possible. 

Cheers

Jared
