> The W3C Mission is to "lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by > developing protocols and guidelines that ensure the long-term growth of > the Web" [1]. It is difficult to see how EME (or in fact any w3c spec) > can defeat that. But also: "One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability." The *sole* purpose of EME is to interop with closed-source proprietary blobs called CDMs. These will most assuredly not be available to all people regardless of hardware, software, network infrastructure, and geographical localtion. They will probably not cater for those who speak non-mainstream languages, and who are physically disabled. -- Duncan Bayne ph: +61 420817082 | web: http://duncan-bayne.github.com/ | skype: duncan_bayne I usually check my mail every 24 - 48 hours.
