Correct.

For reasons stated in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2014Oct/0086.html , I think the
TAG's wishes to change this state of affairs is harmful folly until the codecs,
robustness solutions and key acquisition mechanisms that DRM-using services
require are all royalty-free. That is, it would be a major blunder to pursue
your goal before those three things *in the form that the relevant services
want to use* are RF.
