I agree that that's true in *principle*. However, as far as *practice* goes, is any browser other than Firefox known to have made or be on track making it true in *practice*? I don't recall any browser vendor other than Mozilla having made public statements about endeavors to make it so. OTOH, the concerns Googlers raised in https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26332 strongly suggest that they have a concrete reason (that they don't name) to be worried about it not being true for some key system / CDM. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@hsivonen.fi https://hsivonen.fi/
