Nothing changed at all. W3C came up with lots of stuff that vendors chose to ignore, and vice versa. Ever since the web was remotely popular, browser vendors did their own thing.
Browser DRM is no different from <font> in that respect. The only difference here is that the W3C didn't take years to bend over, but months.
This is like a kid crying "wolf!!" in the zoo.

- skrebbel 9y agoThat's besides the point. My point is OP acts as if W3C ever had any authority and the DRM affair took it away. In reality, they never had much authority. Browser vendors will pretty much do as they please, as they always have.
- aversafe 9y agoAbsolutely. Vendors have long looked upon W3C as providing opinions. The history of web innovation has always been one or more parties moving quickly to build something new, and W3C playing catch up to try and herd all the cats into something developers can support across as many browsers as possible.
