I don't think that's a given. Note that defining unavailability in the case of Clear Key would amount to the W3C stipulating a DRM compliance rule and open source code potentially becoming sensitive to complying such a rule. It seems more prudent to leave spec rules to "if the CDM doesn't let you have the data, do this in cases where otherwise data would be passed" instead of saying "don't let API such and such have this data if EME is used". After all, the point of separating the CDM from the User Agent is to avoid making the User Agent subject to Robustness rules or Compliance Rules. > I guess that I'd like to see the problem shown in the wild before > trying to fix it. Indeed. I wonder if msGraphicsTrustStatus is related to EME and, if it is, what use case it serves. (Search for msGraphicsTrustStatus in https://typescript.codeplex.com/sourcecontrol/latest#bin/lib.d.ts .)

If that problem is worth addressing, it could be addressed as a matter of defining the concept of media data unavailability in specs without exposing the concept as a script property unless there's a good use case for exposing it. >> >>>> Does anybody see any other issues?
