That's my position exactly, hence my comment above.  It's also worth
noting, as I mentioned, that JF only considers EME to be 'not DRM' when
it's the Director talking about it.  The moment he's asking for
alternative implementations, it becomes DRM.  Funny that.

Agreed 100%.

Again, I think you meant to reply to JF there.
