It also updates notes in MediaKeySession to use this definition and ensures non-normative language ('recommended' instead of 'RECOMMENDED') is used in notes.

This might be redundant, or should explicitly happen in the algorithm key replacement algorithm. Similarly with key status change.

It might be ok to merge this an editorial clean up, but we should consider moving all these normative parts into the appropriate algorithm(s).
It might be worth while for us to do a ~2 hour working session to move these bits around into the right places. I thinks everything we need is actually here, it’s just not specified in the most optimal way (i.e., algorithmically with state transitions at the appropriate times)
