OK, pardon the cheap shot, but I don¹t think SDOs that have some sort of
stewardship relationship to the Internet should ever play any part
whatsoever in the facilitation of DRM.

So it's ok to define protocols that manage access to services (e.g., TLS,
GSS, SASL, etc), but not to the content that might be delivered by those
same services? Barring the technicalities around around how authorisation
is enforced, I don't see a distinction.
