The following answers have been successfully submitted to 'Call for Review: Encrypted Media Extensions is W3C Proposed Recommendation' (Advisory Committee) for Opera Software AS by Simon Pieters. Regarding the "Encrypted Media Extensions" specification, the reviewer suggests changes, and only supports publication as a Recommendation if the changes are adopted [Formal Objection]. Additional comments about the specification: Since browsers are shipping EME, it makes sense to reach Recommendation. However, in order to avoid a chilling effect of security research[1] for browsers supporting EME, we believe the W3C should adopt EFF’s Covenant proposal [2]. Also see [3] (paragraph 3 onward).

Comments about products related to these specifications: Opera products based on Chromium support EME. General comments: We believe that any restrictions that may impact the security research and the atmosphere of trust and cooperation within the security improvement process is undoubtedly counter-productive and has no benefit for any of the parties in the long-term perspective. Answers to this questionnaire can be set and changed at https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/33280/eme-pr-2017/ until 2017-04-13. Regards, The Automatic WBS Mailer
