Re: [w3c/permissions] Only allow permissions.request() during user interaction (#77)

@jan-ivar That's an explanation of why you're opposing this proposal, but you didn't answer @raymeskhoury's question. I'm pretty sure you're arguing that specs should not require a user gesture on operations that may show a permission prompt.

If requiring a gesture were really a pure UX issue, I think we'd conclude that UAs "may" require a gesture, since everything else in UX is a "may". Is that the conclusion you want?

I've pinged public-webappsec to pull in more opinions: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webappsec/2016Jun/0008.html. Just to be clear, nobody wants to suggest that all browsers adopt Chrome's permission model. We're trying to find the requirements that work best for all reasonable permission models, and when we make suggestions that happen to privilege the browser we work on, it's good to have that pointed out so we can correct it.
