[Bug 24082] Several issues discussed in the TF point to the need for defined extensibility points in EME

--- Comment #2 from Adrian Bateman [MSFT] <adrianba@microsoft.com> ---
A significant number of PlayReady customers (I think around 50%) use the
feature to transmit data within the license request to their licensing service.
Since we expect these customers to continue to share backend infrastructure
between EME-enabled web applications and native applications on other
platforms, we needed to provide this capability in EME to avoid costly changes
on the server side. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/dn255041

While we understand the concern that supporting this kind of application
specific data might encourage developers to adopt practices that make it harder
to deploy CDM-agnostic applications, we don't believe that this will happen.
One of the key goals of EME is to allow as much sharing of application code
using HTML media elements as possible and this will be enough to encourage use
of technologies like Common Encryption with multiple content protection
systems.
