There are already a range of open bugs that require clarification
to be able to make progress.  For example, enough detail to be able
to assess the security and privacy implications, and enough detail
to be able to decide if 'strong DRM' is possible on open source
stacks.

The community also needs enough information to decide if this
specification should even advance.  Detailing the scope in more
detail would help.   For example, noting that 'strong DRM' will
not be possible on open source stacks, etc would help in
deciding if EME is an appropriate 'open' standard.
