I'm not sure what you mean by "some other layer" ... I just don't think DRM belongs in the web standard at all. The point of DRM is to be non-standard after all.

Putting aside your opinions on DRM itself, can anyone justify HTML as
an appropriate place to manage copyright enforcement? Isn't DRM more
appropriate at a different layer?

That is an excellent point, everyone should consider.

Even if you're all for DRM, what relation does it have with HTML ?
Shouldn't you attack HTTP itself or some other layer ?

The whole thing sounds like a no-win situation for all involved
parties. It will not help copyright holders, and it will not help page
authors, at all.
