[Bug 25092] Need a way to inform script that resolution restrictions are applied

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25092

--- Comment #6 from Mark Watson <watsonm@netflix.com> ---
In my usecase, the streams could all have the same key. So informing the
application that a given key id cannot be used (without restrictions) won't
give the application sufficient information to take meaningful action.

Resolution seems to be the single most important property of a stream that can
cause it to be handled in special ways by DRM systems (based on combining
resolution with things that are not stream properties like license policy and
output characteristics such as HDCP).

A generic solution would be great (this is why I posted this as a use-case
without  detailed solution proposal). 

One direction to generalize would be to think in terms of stream properties
which are causing failure or non-optimal handling of the stream. However, I
think resolution is presently the only such property and there are good reasons
(avoiding complexity) to resist extending such behaviors to other stream
properties.
