At the HTML WG F2F meeting May 3-4 the WG decided to commence work on the Encrypted Media and Media Sources proposals. In addition the F2F meeting suggested having a separate weekly HTML WG teleconference to cover discussion on these media related items.

Here are links to the proposals:

Encrypted Media Extensions

This proposal extends HTMLMediaElement to enable playback of protected content. The proposed API supports use cases ranging from simple clear key decryption to high value video (given an appropriate user agent implementation).

Media Source Extensions

This proposal extends HTMLMediaElement to allow JavaScript to generate media streams for playback. Allowing JavaScript to generate streams facilitates a variety of use cases like adaptive streaming and time shifting live streams.
