Re: [w3c/permissions] Introduce "Automation" section (#151)

> ..and while I know this isn't the place to discuss it, I'm wondering why the specification is so permissive in this regard. It seems like the unpredictability we're discussing is more than just a challenge for automated tests--it could impact usability, too. Do you know if there is anything published online about the design decision?

I can try to dig up some discussion around it but it's definitely intentional. Permission UI is very hard and we need to leave lots of freedom for UAs to experiment right now. Prompts are far from an ideal solution and if UAs can find good ways to make permission decisions in other ways it will result in a better user experience.
