Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Provide a means to select only part of a screen to capture (#105)

@henbos There is an existing "Screenshot API" topic at WICG discourse https://discourse.wicg.io/t/proposal-screenshot-api/2412. There are comments citing privacy and security concerns. Well, `getDisplayMedia()` can currently leak information relating to tabs, windows, and applications where permission was _not granted_ to be captured https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-screen-share/issues/108#issuecomment-521846010. Does not appear to be particularly alarming to some maintainers of the specification.

From perspective here `getDisplayMedia()` is well-suited to be capable of selecting only part of the screen for capture, as the language in the specification currently states right now.

Can you explain the reasoning for your statement concerning the intent of `getDisplayMedia()`?

How does the reading of the specification infer what was not the intent of the specification when the actual language includes the term
