I agree, adaptive streaming does not need to be tied to "content  
protection" and creating a task force covering both seems like a bad idea.  
They are both related to HTMLMediaElement, but so are a lot of other  
features that would presumably not be included. Opera is interested in  
adaptive streaming and would not like to see it mixed up with the more  
controversial issues.
