Re: [w3c/permissions] feat(prompts): allow UAs to deny non-gesture prompts (#107)

@annevk I think the risk you're worried about goes like:

1. Chrome starts enforcing a gesture.
2. Developers notice that when they test on Firefox, their page doesn't work on Chrome.
3. Firefox is forced to add a gesture-enforcing mode lest developers all switch to Chrome.
4. Websites change their UI so that permissions are always requested with a gesture, so nobody's actually taking advantage of Firefox's flexibility.
5. People complain about the double-prompt in Firefox, and the number of people who select "remember this grant" in Firefox increases.
6. Firefox's UI folks give in and make "remember this grant" the default.

Is that right?

I suspect Chrome's security team is going to insist on the gesture even if the spec disallows it, but we could wait to make the spec allow it until that's a change to reflect reality.
