I think that's a very narrow interpretation of what DRM (Digital Rights Management) is all about. There's nothing about DRM that implies it will become conflated with the notion of a User Agent. It's simply functionality usable by a user agent. The fact that is could be used in certain ways by OEMs isn't a knock on the core concept. If we took this approach to other standards where would the World Wide Web be today? Let's keep DRM and and its potential uses distinct :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
