So Sun Microsystems designed such a system a few years back: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_DReaM I never looked into the technical details, and the project was killed after the Oracle acquisition, but there's a proof point of something at least _claiming_ to provide DRM without security-through-obscurity. I agree with Roc's sentiments expressed elsewhere in this thread: an unbounded set of black boxes will not produce interoperability between and among both UAs and content providers. The reasons for objecting to proceeding to FPWD are that the authors have not even tried, nor shown any intention of trying, to document those black boxes, and this seems unlikely to change.
