Honestly, my opinion of this bug is that EME does NOT need to do more to
encourage CDM-level interop. The spec isn't really going to influence whether
this happens or not. It's in CDM vendors interest to consider publishing this
kind of information.

If someone wants to keep a wiki page of pointers to documentation they are
welcome to do that. I don't think creating such a page and making this somehow
be a criteria for some kind of recognition of "compliant" is actually going to
influence anyone to do anything. If someone's implementation satisfies all the
technical requirements of EME and doesn't satisfy this registry piece but yet
services start using that implementation what do you achieve?

As an example, I think over time you will see Microsoft continue to consider
the best way to make implementations of PlayReady CDMs available. I don't think
you can write something into the spec that will materially change those
considerations however. I think we'll probably see that from other vendors too.
