I object to introducing a feature that requires the browser to interpret a REL,
since that would bring the complexity of managing restrictions out of the CDM
into the browser. (But I'd also object to requiring CDMs to interpret a REL. I
think decisions that one might imagine a REL to cover should be performed by
the server by deciding the either allow or disallow data flows into the CDM
given knowledge about what the CDM is designed to hide.)

I also object to introducing features that make the scope of DRM potentially
broader than video.

I request that this bug be WONTFIXed.
