If Digital Restrictions Management gets added to HTML5 then it makes it far easier for content hosts to add restrictions. This is a huge risk. But more importantly the idea of HTML5 was to get rid of proprietary closed source plugins like Flash. Adding DRM to HTML5 will make it rely on proprietary closed source plugins. I hope the W3C reconsiders. If somebody feels the need for DRM then they should implement their own stuff outside of the open web.
