I don't know what the solution is here, but I'm worried that if we don't implement this solution, the web will fall even faster out of favor to native apps. I'm talking about mobile. Right now running flash or silverlight on your desktop is no big deal. This "solution" is unnecessary. But on mobile we have a real problem: the only way for anyone to deliver encrypted media is via a native app, which is exactly what everyone is doing. That comes at the expense of the web. So now we have an entire generation of users growing up on apps (netflix, hulu, spotify) because those content licensing deals require DRM. The desktop is fading. If we want the web to stay relevant as everything moves to closed ecosystems, this may be a necessary evil, because the web+EME is infinitely more open than the an iPhone/Android app.
