There was never any dispute that the EME specification is designed to support
such use, the issue was that this 'feature' is not currently supported by the
web platform and thus may be inappropriate as part of the open web standards or
at the least needs to be noted as an significant impact.

I would note that Joe and Mark both appeared to have recognized this
as they supported the position that the current web platform does support
this use case.  They were both challenged to prove the technical merits of
their position and failed to do so.

I made a good faith effort to try and reach some consensus
on technical definitions, see bug 21104, to help clear the
frustrated discussions and note that the 'task force' has
closed bug 21104 refusing to engage in this process.

The failure of the 'task force' to understand or recognize
this issue raises a concern about the competence of the
'task force' or that they are acting in good faith.
