Maybe just have an error callback? * I'm not a big fan of introducing two new ways to load resources as proposed in this API. We are not doing that elsewhere either (consider e.g. drawImage()). Passing a Document and HTMLImageElement (potentially HTMLCanvasElement and HTMLVideoElement too I suppose) would make more sense. This does create some additional burden on the developer but it does keep security-sensitive operations more limited and also gives the ability for greater control and information. (E.g. with XMLHttpRequest you get to know how fast the resource is being fetched, etc.) Libraries could provide the higher-level API. * If we keep checkPermission() it should not be a method. But I'm not sure it is needed if there is an error callback. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
