[encrypted-media] "tracked" sessions: Does "record of key usage" need not be updated each time a block is decrypted?

ddorwin has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/encrypted-media:

== "tracked" sessions: Does "record of key usage" need not be updated 
each time a block is decrypted? ==
Pull request #54 specifies that the _record of key usage_ be updated 
every time a key is used to decrypt a block. I wonder whether we need 
to _require_ this level of granularity. We should definitely be clear 
about what authors can expect and the minimum granularity 
implementations must achieve, but I'm not sure requiring 
per-decrypted-block granularity is necessary to support the relevant 
use cases for the `"tracked"` session feature.

The reasonable minimum granularity probably depends on when this 
information is persisted. Thus, this issue is blocked on issue #82. 
Issue #80, whether to track key or session usage, may also affect this
 issue.
