Don't we have to consider user consent here?  I wouldn't want an app grabbing the contents of a video element and sending it off to a remote site without asking my permission.

Am I right that tainting the stream will solve IP issues?  If I have paid to watch a streamed movie, I can't necessarily share it with a remote friend.  However if the video stream is tainted, the UA should not allow the JS code to access it.  Or am I missing something?

That said, I like proposal 2.1.  It's straightforward and I don't think it's too clunky.
