            Bug ID: 27738
           Summary: Need to change name of 'message' event to avoid
                    confusion.
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Encrypted Media Extensions
          Assignee: adrianba@microsoft.com

HTML5, Server Socket Events (SSE), Web Messages, and WebSockets API all employ
a "message" event, with MessageEvent interface type, as defined by [1]. It is
bad form, confusing, and potentially ambiguous for EME to redefine "message" as
being an entirely different event bound to a MediaKeyMessageEvent. Please
change the name to something specific to EME, e.g, "keymessage".
