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.
