Since browsers don't support DRM, you will need to provide a browser plugin to
interpret the DRM parameters, no matter in which way you put them into the HTML
page. Browser plugins are used in HTML through the object and embed tags, which
have a param attribute, so that should solve it. If a particular Web page needs
to communicate something from the plugin with the video element, then the
data-* attributes would make sense. Even if there was a recommendation
("standard") to use a particular plugin with particular params and a particular
JavaScript library to do this communication.
