--- Comment #2 from Joe Steele <steele@adobe.com> ---
This bug was opened and closed much too fast to get any feedback from the
group. Given that this is a contentious subject, I don't feel that is
appropriate.

I disagree with this text -- "Initialization Data should not contain Key
System-specific data or values. Implementations must support the common formats
defined [EME-REGISTRY] for each Initialization Data Type they support." is not
clear to me. 

I realize the EME-REGISTRY has similar text, and I object to that text as well.
I was not aware of the normative restriction in there until I read this bug. 

In both cases I think a SHOULD is more appropriate.
