IMHO the problem is first of all aesthetically, digital rights minimization does not belong into an open standard. And on the more technical side, the encrypted media extension working draft [1] says itself: This specification does not define a content protection or Digital Rights Management system. Rather, it defines a common API that may be used to discover, select and interact with such systems[...] Translation, it is not content without flash, they are adding another API, to interact with a flash like plugin. So it archives precisely nothing compared to flash, except to grow the attack surface of the browser.
