Re: Formal Objection to Working Group Decision to publish Encrypted Media Extensions specification as a First Public Working Draft (FPWD)

I totally agree with this objection.

The web is open to everybody without any kind of discrimination.

The fact that EME does not allow independent implementation, excluding 
open source
implementations is totally an unacceptable level.

I just remember you that today, the web is very strong because it 
massively uses open standard and open source softwares.
Please, do not trig a bullet in our foots.


Best regards,

Gaël,
