Why would having DRM as part of the HTML specification hurt the web ? I am not in favour of DRM but these who want to protect their content always find a way (silverlight). It would probably be simpler for everybody if it was part of HTML.

Well for one it will cause a lot of friction with the open source community as they are generally very anti proprietary/close code which in turn will cause fragmentation in the browsers. I don't really know why, but I would prefer HTML to be free from DRM and use plugins to implement such things.
