> HTML+DRM is closer to an open web than a locally installed proprietary application + DRM. No, HTML+DRM still requires, in addition to the EME API implementation, the actual DRM module. The DRM module will be a locally installed proprietary application - not something standardized, not open, not cross-platform not cross-browser. There are currently 2 such DRM modules, one by Microsoft for IE and one by Google for Chrome. They are proprietary binary blobs, non-standard except for the small external API interface to EME, and are the result of private collaboration with content creation companies.
