The answer is... Yes, it's one or the other. Or maybe something in between. As the discussion so far shows, there is not a single authoritative nor universally agreed upon definition - only the course of history may decideā€¦

Meanwhile, some people on both sides are claiming that "obviously it is [your preference here]" and accusing the other side of being disingenuous. Not sure that's really helping.

Since part of the discussion is whether or not EME is part of W3C's
mission, I'd like to hear how W3C defines the "Open Web".

The W3C is *us* - and we are struggling to agree on a definition.

You can ask for Tim's opinion, or Jeff's, or even ask the W3C management to propose a definition, but if you want the W3C's definition, that can only come through consensus among us - members and community.
