I thought I had been very explicit in saying just that.  Earlier I
posted:

"The reason EME is being proposed is to enable DRM.  Netflix, Microsoft
and Google are interested in it for no other purpose.  No-one (to my
knowledge) has proposed that EME might be used for any *other* purpose
than interop with DRM systems.  Therefore, EME is a component of DRM
systems, nothing more, nothing less."

My reasoning here is fairly simple.  EME is a component of DRM systems,
and has no other purpose.  Therefore, in recommending EME, W3C is
recommending DRM.
