Re: [w3c/permissions] Consider removing Permissions.revoke(). (#46)

I agree. This seems bad.

I respectfully disagree. Requesting access is less privileged than calling any of the powerful feature APIs (because it does not have the side-effect of spinning up geo, or the camera, etc). So, if anything, calling straight up geolocation.getCurrentPosition() or getUserMedia() seems like a much larger intrusion than .request(). 

But I might be missing something?
