I think HDDVD and Blueray are irrelevant as Windows DRM goes far beyond
those formats.

   So you think that HD DVD or bluray would have been released without any
standard for content protection?  In what fantasy world do you live?

  The specifications from the standards committee is what makes the mandate
  possible, and in itself mandates the limits of those capabilities.

     You are confused.  Microsoft may have participated in the standards
  committees on the specifications.  As an implementor and consequently an
  interested party, membership seems like a good idea.  The specifications
  don't mandate that content must be protected.  It's the content providers
  that make this mandate.
