I disagree with that assessment on three counts:

1) I cannot implement Widevine to deliver content to Chromebooks, so this
is no path to satisfy the success criteria set forth by the HTML-WG charter
2) I cannot implement a CDM and have Chromebooks support it, so this is
also no path to satisfy the success criteria.
3) I cannot implement a CDM compatible with the HTML-WG charter that would
be deemed useful by the content industry, so that is also no path to
satisfy the success criteria.

Which means there is no path to an implementation of HTML-DRM in its
entirety that would be both feasible and compatible with the HTML-WG
charter.
