the reason it needs the W3C is that *the W3C is creating the circumventable technology*. Rarely do you get get the chance.

That doesn't require it to be at W3C. Nothing prevents a community-driven covenant.

Covenant needs to bind the same W3C members who give up EME IPR via patent process, so it must be administered by W3C. Not optional on side.

No. That's the optimal option, but not the only one. Nothing prevents a separate operation to drive signatures.

Ignores the leverage that W3C has on Its members, which it uses to get patent covenants, on which its moral authority (diminished) depends.

Clearly that purported leverage is not enough. The options are to try something or give up.

Are you trolling now? We have no leverage. W3C had it and failed, up to the Director, to use it. What leverage now, harsh language?

The leverage of Recommendation was already in play to try to get something better out of EME in 2014. It didn't work.

A lame excuse for what happened this year. What, Germany invaded France? Well, that's that! No new leverage via new efforts in later years.

If you insist on going for this comparison, then your idea of leverage is the Maginot Line.

We're getting too abstract. What was the problem with the EFF compromise precisely? DRM purveyors would have bolted? Is that true?
