Office 2013 WebApps and AD RMS

Hi all,

At the moment I am trying to wade through the mirk to understand what is the correct answer to this simple question:-

"Will Office Web Apps render AD RMS protected documents?" - this is the on-prem' versions of OWA and AD RMS...

Thats it, but the PoC deployment seems to confirm that it doesnt, but the official MS Office stance is that it does but will always display in READ mode with no other options. Yet when we try to open any RMS document there is a popup prompt indicating this to be RMS enabled and to open it in Word. We do understand that it is better in Word, as the security is better in as much as you cannot take screen grabs of this, but you can in the browser, but there are instances when Browser is the only option. 

If anyone can shed any light, and if MS moderators read this it would be great top get official feedback too.
