How about the embed tag? What big differences do you see between implementing EME vs the embed tag?

One difference is that with embed you can still support most existing platforms by implementing NSAPI.

My reading is that ESE is intended to work in much the same way -- the main work is done by the Content Decryption Module, which is more plugin-like. And indeed, the way existing DRM-using systems work in the browser is with the embed tag.

The spec says "The Content Decryption Module (CDM) is a generic term for a part of or add-on to the user agent that provides functionality for one or more Key Systems."
