[Bug 10902] <video> element needs to support some form of DRM solution

A proposal.

The idea would be to follow the vision of John Harding
(http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2010-July/027069.html).

Append, at the end of the "source-default-media" section", the following note.

Note: HTML-intended DRM plugins should implement an interface that mimics that
of the video element. The scrambled media resource, located in an embed
element, should then be handled by the DRM plugin, which should trigger an
error event on the corresponding embed element if viewing of the resource is
not allowed. That event can then be handled as seen above.

(In this case, "above" refers to an example of the use of onerror="" in a
source element).

Anyway, I don't think that having DRM mentioned in the spec in any other form
than a note and a lot of "should"s is a good idea. We're not the implementors,
after all.
