You can FO to whatever you like, but you are wrong in claiming that "the
spec is incomplete" merely because some CDM instance that is expected to be
used is not specified by the proposal or by W3C.

That is equivalent to FOing to canvas.getContext("x-my-context") because
x-my-context is not defined by the W3C and is expected to be used. A rather
absurd proposition, but that is exactly what you are doing.
