Topic: Why is the WebM tag aliased to animated?

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Is there any reason for why the meta tag webm is aliased to the tag animated? I would understand implication, but why aliasing? When you search for webm now, you get Flash files and GIFs as well, which kind of defeats the purpose of the tag.

probably because the tag is redundant, since you can search type:webm instead
