Well, I was very disappointed not to find any discussion here of the issues and 
challenges that W3C's decision on DRM for HTML5 would bring for security.

I sort of expected people to be all over that here, when I saw the group name.

The security issues raised here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=923590
...are pretty huge, but they should be being discussed in this group, not 
hidden away in a bug report.

DRM in HTML5 - *if* the decision is made to back it - almost certainly means:
- The end of verifiably-secure, open-source FF.
- The end of FF as part of security projects like TOR, TAILS, etc, since if FF 
uses closed binary blobs then it cannot be trusted.
