The essence of your bug report is that EME is not in scope due to your
interpretation of writings of the W3C that exist entirely outside of the HTML
WG.  I again maintain that's a disagreement between you and those that produced
those documents that you are citing.

I once again encourage you to work with those that produced those documents,
and come back to this working group with the results.

I at no time made that statement.  Again, I think this is a misunderstanding by
you on the position of W3C management.  And once again, I encourage you to work
with W3C management to come to a common understanding.
