Re: [w3c/permissions] autoplay permission (#172)

It's a use case I've heard too in the past and after talking to Apple, it seems that we could also get Safari on board. However, I'm not sure if a permission is the right approach as autoplay abilities may change during the lifetime of the document/element depending on the autoplay policy implemented by the browser. For example, with the new Chrome autoplay policy, most documents will start without autoplay abilities and will most likely get it before being closed. Technically, this shouldn't prevent using a permission but the concept seems off as it's not always linked to the origin and might not be persistent.

I think we may want to add some mechanism to the Document or the HTMLMediaElement to expose the autoplay ability, depending on what browsers can agree on.
