Somehow this reminds me of my long running rage against all things webapp and javascript. Companies have started using the browser as a substitute for an OS because it is easier to distribute working code to multiple platforms on a browser. So what do the drm people target now? The browser: aka operating system 2.0. And the thing that is scary is that people don't realize this and think "oh, its just W3C, its just a single program on my computer, they aren't really attacking general computation!" Spoilers: browsers act as virtual machines for probably 90% of all calculations that run on an average pc these days.
