Think of a doctor transmitting a video diagnosis to a patient This case can be served quite well, I believe, by proposals that allow the doctor and the patient to access the video data. Furthermore, the encryption APIs involved could, I again believe, be quite clearly specified in this case. That's assuming that SSL is not sufficient for this purpose. > and it's easy to imagine a case for encrypted video that has nothing to do with DRM. Actually, it's really hard to imagine cases for ecnrypted video that need the level of mistrust in the receiving party that the draft in question espouses that have nothing to do with DRM. If we are indeed talking about other use cases, I would like to hear what they are, and we should consider designing a system that caters to those use cases better than the currently proposed one. -Boris
