I would like to reopen this issue. I am concerned about the cases where being
able to preload keys would significantly impact the user experience. 

Consider this scenario -- 
The user browses to a video distributor using a domain key model for
determining entitlements. If the user has not yet acquired the appropriate keys
and there is no additional user interaction required, they could be acquired
while the user is browsing the video selection rather than waiting until the
user selects a video and tries to play. This would result in a better user
experience in cases where the key acquisition takes a perceptible amount of
time (i.e. over 1 sec).

Given that loading is required to begin, how can we achieve this? Could the
MediaKeys object be instantiated independent of an HTMLMediaElement?
