Don't know about that. Having to depend on closed sources defeats the purpose of the open source, and besides, having that info won't prevent hackers to tweak it to wreak havoc later.

^ Closed source DRM.
And why would the recording companies stream content through HTML5, if it isnt secure ?

They can't. There is exclusivity between these two. htML (markup language) is not the same thing as encryption. MAYBE thru SSL, or TLS, IPSEC?, or whatever ... and maybe through some kind of key infrastructure. The markup itself is insecure; some kind of encapsulation is required beyond HTML (any version that is open, 5 or not) to make it "secure".

It will be hacked as soon as it is released, pointless.
