(I mean "digital rights *management*" quite literally, as opposed to "digital rights enforcement," which is what most people mean when they discuss DRM.) As you said, though, it's "rather complex and opaque"; I brought Hal Lockhardt to a PRISM meeting several years ago and the PRISM group thought it was interesting but had a difficult time understanding the value it could bring to their standard.
