Html5 (Non-Live) True Streaming / VOD

I understand that you can feed the HTML5 <video> RTP / RTSP element. Streaming over RTSP or RTP in HTML5

Fine! Now, how would you organize the flow setup?

To be clear, I do not want to broadcast live video, I just encode and transfer existing media / video files. Think Flash Media Server (I already have a working example of a Flash route). I am wondering how to go about setting up a streaming server server to serve all the correct codecs for HTML5 video in all browsers (H.264 / Ogg / WebM).

Am I looking maybe at FFServer? Or perhaps a new VOD feature for VLC for streaming to H.264 (Safari, Flash) over RTSP. Perhaps an Icecast server for Ogg video? Is it possible? Are there currently working examples of this type of html5 VOD streaming in the wild?

This is not an answer, however I would suggest trying to solve one problem at a time.

Example:

Q: Can I switch from Flash Media Server through the HTML 5 "video" tag?

A: No, but progressive download is possible. (Link: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/855764 )
