That failing to provide "Native Netflix support" would be a show-stopper for Safari? With a 4th place market share of roughly 10%, they really had no choice (and besides, Apple is probably the least likely candidate for Poster-child for Open Source / Open Technology, as I think most observers today are "Swift" to realize...) I'm not really sure why you find this "of interest". If anything, one of the lessons learned from the WHAT WG is that a "web standard" is anything that all the implementers agree on and implement in a standard, interoperable way, with or without W3C (or WHAT WG for that matter) intervention. Question: Now that all of the major browsers are supporting "Native Netflix support" (aka EME), I wonder if the WHAT WG "Living Standard" is prepared to accept that EME is here? (and for all the complainers, that this was going to happen, with or without the W3C, or the WHAT WG?) JF
