Right now video comes in the form of plugins which w3c doesn't control.

As you said if w3c ads drm people will not use the html5 version of video, but they will just use plugins instead rather than change html. So can w3c control what a plugin is allowed to do? It doesn't seem to me like they have that kind of influence anyway.
