Some things are matters of policy for the sites using EME or for keysystem
providers, but other things are matters of what the User Agent exposes to the
web in general, including to sites that are not using EME for its intended
purpose and/or are not even licensees of any keysystem.

This and the other bugs raised by Henri are not black-and-white in terms of
whether they address only policies which are properly the domain of sites and
keysystem vendors or whether they address questions of policy for the web
platform in general. For example, it would be inappropriate to introduce
functions with new properties which undermine the body of previous work aimed
at giving the web platform as a whole improved privacy properties.
