First off, I am an engineer, not an lawyer, and I cannot tell you
what is "legal" and what is not. The YouTube API Terms of Service
dictate the acceptable use of the YouTube API, and the final word
about what is acceptable is contained in that document.
As I mentioned in the other thread, the only official way to play
back YouTube videos using HTML5's <video> capabilities is via the
<iframe> embedded player, which will automatically use HTML5 <video>
if it's available and if the video is eligible for playback:

Pointing your own custom <video> element player at the YouTube video
streams is definitely not the same thing as using the <iframe>
embedded player.
As for whether using a non-Adobe Flash runtime is acceptable, I can't
offer any comment one way or another there. I'll mention again that
you need to adhere to the Terms of Service's restrictions, and that
this Google Group is a technical resource, not a place to resolve
legal questions.
