The principle questions still stand unanswered:
What is the motivation for this? What do you gain? Does it create some large architectural and performance in efficiency?
How often do the copyright owners on content give a flying fig in a rolling donut about efficiency if it interferes with being able to control who accesses the content, and how?

That should tell you all you need to know about the motivation for this....
