I just noticed that there is W3C FAQ page on HTML5 which contains an answer regarding DRM which is not consensus (as the discussion in the HTML WG in the recent weeks has demonstrated). See below. Accoding to the history of that page this QA was added on 16 November 2010 by user "Plehegar" (that seems to be Philippe Le Hégaret). I strongly suggest that the W3C modifies that answer. While it is only(?) a Wiki page it looks somewhat official ... Cheers, Andreas --- Question: Is dealing with DRM in scope for HTML5? [Answer:] If enough stakeholders want to standardise some aspect of handling DRM in HTML5 itself as part of the inclusion of video and audio media, then it makes sense for W3C to help standardise an approach which meets the needs of the market. However like all W3C work, relevant stakeholders need to be and show they are committed to developing it rather than expecting it to happen on its own. http://www.w3.org/html/wiki/FAQs#Is_dealing_with_DRM_in_scope_for_HTML5.3F
