Re: W3C HTML Fork without Digital Restriction Management

People effectively profile HTML all the time — there are ‘rolling edges’ of what is implemented and used, and what is falling out of use and being removed from implementations.

If DRM is not used by content owners, not implemented by browsers, or not supported by customers, it will die.  Having a formal spec that differs from the w3c one only in that it doesn’t include EME doesn’t seem to change the balance at all.
