I’m working on a mobile-optimized version of a client site that contains many HTML5 video tags. When viewing on the iPhone it’s displaying the default play button watermark. Is it possible to customize this icon?

I don’t think you can do this in the HTML, because the play icon you’re seeing is in fact an (undocumented) UIButton subclass that’s laid on-top of the webpage. It’s not an HTML element, it’s a UIKit one.
I have messed around in the past with modifying this button, but you need to perform various dodgy operations on a UIWebView from Objective-C, not HTML, so it’s probably not much help to you (even if it was, it’s all undocumented so not suitable for production use anyway).
