Isn't that kind of a moot point now that WASM would allow for effective DRM? Also, wasn't DRM proposed 6+ years ago? Meanwhile, WHATWG is run by Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla. Would you feel the same if Wikimedia decided to join WHATWG instead of W3C?
- geofft 8y ago> WASM would allow for effective DRM? This doesn't make sense to me - obfuscated code that is handed over to people to decompile isn't "effective" DRM. "Effective" DRM uses things like physically tamper-resistant chips and remote attestation (Chrome OS has a pretty nice implementation of this with TPMs, IIRC). And it's not like obfuscated code on the web is new with wasm; obfuscated JavaScript has been around forever.
