The HTML standard should contain a codec that is widely used by "people". I have yet to use OGG or come across a site that offers OGG format.

I believe the Wikimedia Foundation uses OGG. And since the Wikimedia foundation runs one of the most popular sites (Wikipedia) on the Internet, I do believe that "people" use it, and that you have come across a site that uses it.

Wikimedia is an entity. People in this case would refer to the general public at large for their personal galleries etc... Most modern smart phones these days support H.264 since it is not license encumbered and the standard is well documented.

Not only is it license encumbered, but next year they could change the licensing so that websites hosting h264 video will be charged broadcast fees.
