Have you approached other working groups about this specification, and
if so what was their response? This isn't really a security feature (the
permissions themselves may be, but not just reading their state) so it
seems better suited for some place like public-webapps.

Is it necessary to distinguish between "denied" and "prompt"? If a
permission isn't already granted I'm not sure it's any of the page's
business whether I've denied them or not -- they should (try to) ask if
they want to know.
