Since there is play, it's unexpected to not have a stop method, it could probably be an alias for:
video.pause();
video.currentTime(0);

I get the desire, but Video.js mimics the html5 video API, which doesn't have a stop. You could make a plugin for it and we could how popular it gets.

I agree that there should be a stop() method.
It is noble to mimic the HTML5 video API but I've worked with other video players (non-HTML5) and most had a stop() function. Perhaps the goal of video.js should be to not only mimic the HTML5 API whenever possible but also to build upon it when it makes sense. In my opinion, a stop() method totally makes sense.

Can you explain the use case in more detail where a stop button is valuable?
