Re: [presentation-api] Security and privacy evaluation and considerations

Depending on the results of the security and privacy evaluation, the 
Privileged Contexts [1] spec may become relevant:

>[The Privileged Contexts] specification provides guidelines for user 
agent implementors and spec authors for implementing features whose 
properties dictate that they be exposed to the web only within a 
trustworthy environment.

It seems the Presentation API ticks some of the boxes in *Should 
[insert feature here] require a privileged context?* [2]:
* The feature provides access to or information about other devices a 
user has access to.
* The feature introduces some functionality for which user permission 
will be required.
