A question was also raised as to whether it could be used to capture keystrokes secretly (e.g. via a hidden input field). But, the specification does not log actual keys, it does post-processing; events after text to add/remove has been generated. So, the answer is probably no. There are a series of events after text entry, e.g. events to edit or modify the text (such as add or remove). Use case - people who edit content on Github, blogs, etc.

Dear PING, the POE WG discussed this at our last teleconference [1].

The ODRL specs are aimed at expressing policies, and hence are not impacted by keystroke logging.

We were not clear on the comment/impact on “fingerprinting”.

We would be happy to answer any followup questions.

Cheers...
