In recent times pretty much all the DRM vehicles have been canned as native code browser extensions have become 'bad' for malicious code. So the DRM delivery mechanisms like java plugins, flash and so on are being taken out of the web and this standard sticks it back in. I have mixed feelings about this until I really dig into how the interface is supposed to work.

So it was almost out as part of the modern web stuff, and it came back the very next day.
