Yeah, good luck the the DRM crap - it worked over so well with music (not) and I'm sure it'll fly super fine with video too. Tim Berners-Lee has sold his soul somewhere along the line. Following bit from Florian Bösch comment on article sums it up brilliantly:
"The W3Cs (and Tim Baner Lees) support of EME shows clearly that once again, the W3C has gone down a blind alley (like with XHTML) and is not interested to serve the real needs of the web. The WhatWG was the result of W3Cs stagnation on addressing real world needs. And once again the W3C is more interested in stagnation than real world needs with EME. It has to be expected that the relevancy of any W3C standard will substantially diminish in the future."
