The html media element already support the option 2, and the retrieveKey does
not need to be defined in W3C, it is not a JS API.

> The current communication model (section 1) assumes that the application

> 1. The CDM generates a Key Request and does not rely on a specific
> communication protocol but rather lets the application communicate with the
> license server to deliver the request and eventually get the encrypted key back
> (i.e. license).
> 2. The CDM includes its own communication protocol to the license server.  In
> this case, the application does not need to go through the 'generateKeyRequest
> -> Get Key -> addKey' sequence but can simply call retrieveKey and the CDM
> handles the rest. 
> The Encrypted Media Extension proposal should support both of these models.
