If you document that secret, it's no longer a secret and the DRM can be removed (remember what DVD Jon did?).
Actually you don't need new filetypes or other techniques for DRM. It could be as simple as a password on the zip file. This is already supported by zip. Once opened you could use whatever additional controls you needed on the content. I agree that there is unlikely to be a universal DRM implementation.
