OK. 

I ask because the "device list" concept I introduced in V4 probably needs to be dramatically re-thought (or just deleted) in light of some form of "inactive tracks" that can be returned directly from getUserMedia. The intent was to discover (and use) all the user's available devices with an eye toward privacy. With these upcoming changes to getUserMedia, I wonder if this can be done more elegantly and even without the device list concept at all.

Also, if track objects can be "upgraded" after script takes references to them, then I may need to switch some things from inheritance (current) to property-based to allow property access to adapt from returning null to returning an available feature (once it becomes available).
