I brought up EME as an example of where vendors implemented and shipped something that is bad for security and privacy. Reviewers are at a loss. You said vendors should follow the W3C. I argued that such an argument did not apply here as the W3C has not made up its made mind (or so claims the leadership). > I don’t want the w3c to encourage people to implement specs that, if implemented would > * put systems at risk (security issue) > * put people’s privacy at risk > * have significant issues in deployment across some languages or scripts (i18n issue) > * have significant issues in accessibility >From EME and WebRTC it seems we can derive that the W3C publishing something is enough of an indication for vendors to start shipping. Whether encouraged by the W3C or not. Each of those has security and privacy issues raised, but due to deployed content it is unlikely whether they can get solved.
