I agree that a standard excluding some users by definition from
accessing Web content is a bad standard.  However we can end up with a
bad standard or with an even worse standard.

I think the choice of explicitly limiting EME to video content would be
less damaging and easier to handle in future than making EME a general
purpose DRM framework.  Making EME applicable only to video content
might be a realistic step.
