That's Ma Bell determining what may and may not be connected all over again. Could we maybe not repeat the mistakes of the past? The whole point of a standard is to be a point of interaction between multiple parties without needing explicit coordination beyond conforming to the standard: - party A provides their content in standard manner - party B plugs in their application/device to access that content - as long as both party A and party B conform to the standard no further coordination is needed (thus allowing from experimentation and innovation at both sides) EME (and DRM in general) explicitly breaks that model, and by doing so stops being a standard in spirit. Why is this a use case the W3C wants to support? -- Cheers, Cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)
