Re: [tvcontrol-api] Management of underlying resources

Although I was saying I could see good reasons for supporting both 
approaches earlier in the thread, on the whole I prefer an implicit 
resource model, because there will almost inevitably be some 
implementations where that do not match the resource model you define 
(for a variety of very good reasons).

I can agree that your two queries are the ones we really need to 
expose, along with the ability to get a MediaStream object for a piece
 of content that can be passed to an HTML5 media element.

The complicating factor is that you may not actually know if you can 
play a piece of content until you've acquired some of the resources, 
but I think that is an asynchronous failure mode.
