Jan-Ivar recently submitted a proposal related to constraints [1]. The proposal was really three different proposals in one: 1. "Don't violate WebIDL": The core of this proposal is to use WebIDL dictionaries for Constraints. The effect (apart from making speccing simpler) is that unknown mandatory constraints will succeed. To allow the app to control a way to probe the UA for which constraints it knows is added. 2. "Don't leak": It is proposed that the permission prompt is always launched when getUserMedia is called (even if no device matches the mandatory constraints). 3. "New syntax": A new syntax for constraints is proposed (which moves away from the mandatory/optional language). In order to make it easier to detect if there is consensus for making any of the proposed changes we ask people to post their thoughts on the individual proposals, with appropriate subject, rather than on all in the same mail. This will make it easier to track the discussion. To make it easier to track decisions we have opened bugs: "Bug 23933 - Proposal: Change constraints to use WebIDL dictionaries" [2] "Bug 23934 - Proposal: Always launch permission prompt to avoid leakage" [3] "Bug 23935 - Proposal: New syntax for constraints" [4] And to those who have already responded: your input will be regarded.
