I believe the reason for the wording is that you could probably meet the
minimum requirements in some other way, so it's not a requirement to wait for
these events.

I agree that we should specify that applications should not call
generateKeyRequest() before a specific time that all implementations are
guaranteed to be ready.

There has been some discussion of wanting to perform operations before
loadstart, which requires a source to be specified^. However, for WebKit, the
underlying media object in the embedder is not created until loading starts.

^ One potential use case is using an empty media element to manage key release
(issue 17199). I believe others were mentioned in the original public-html
discussions.
