Yes, it is better to standardize that in another context than W3C.

Though he hasn't been active on the EPUB front, Bill Rosenblatt would be an ideal expert on this. He was instrumental in the development of LCP for Readium.

It still makes me a bit dizzy to think of NISO forging ahead on something like this without involving the W3C. Or is there some approach or involvement I'm not aware of?

Actually this is fine. W3C would not like to get involved in a DRM development, so if NISO wants to do that…
