It seems to me the consistency needs to be in the source, not the player.

At the very least, the users will be given a greater degree of control for customizing the video player or restricting unwanted behavior (such as auto-play). It's a Friday and I'm having a hard time thinking straight so I'm gonna leave it at that. :) Firefox 3.5 introduces a new native video player.
