My suggestion didn't make it to the list: Freely implementable video format for the web
I just wish FSF could make a more visible standpoint on this. They have been fighting de-facto web formats before, such as GIF and Adobe Flash, only after the fact – they should be similarly interested in having an acceptable format win whenever there is a format war (such as now). Simply making their standpoint known is all a software organization really has to do about that. But they are also actively campaigning with PlayOGG, and stop DRM in HTML5, and this is something in the middle.
Maybe they didn't prioritize it for the list because it has some attention outside FSF.
