We've tried to get that part standardized, and failed.
Prove this claim.
We explicitly requested the HTML working group to agree to take it on as
a deliverable. They, and more importantly the other browser vendors
involved, refused.
Where is this claimed specification?
There is no point writing a specification if you've already been told by
everyone involved that they have no plans to follow it.
It keeps DRM out of the open web standards by definition.
This sounds to me like sweeping the problem under the rug more than
anything else, honestly.
There are good reasons to keep DRM out of web standards, but those
reasons are what's important, not the keeping out per se.
It keeps DRM out of the open web standards, a very significant point,
and a matter to be defended.
We agree on that, but that battle is long since lost no matter what we do.
There are very real technical differences in the ability to sandbox a
separate DRM player versus an integrated web based media player.
I'm not sure there are.
The user would have more choice. There would be a healthy market for media
players that could meet the varying needs of users.
This is very possible, yes.
