 Replying to [comment:116 celloexpressions]:
 > - Most default themes (and as a result, likely other themes) that
 implement custom styles for the MediaElement players scope their CSS to
 `.hentry` to have higher specificity than the MediaElement styling
 provided by WordPress. This custom styling needs to apply to widgets too,
 ideally without making theme changes. This is a blocker for shipping I
 think, and if theme changes are required I'm not sure that we should
 release this feature in a minor release (unless theme outreach happens for
 a period of time prior).
 It sounds like we should assume every theme developers want to use the
 same style of media elements on both content and widget area. But we don't
 assume that for any other widget content such as menus and links.
