Re: Initial review of policy permissions

Becky, All:

I've spent some time looking at these documents. I'm convinced we will
want an Accessibility Considerations section at a minimum, and maybe
some additional permissions in the specification(s): e.g.

It should be clear that user agents are expected to make these device
controls available to users, not just content providers.

"Display" shouldn't just be "Screen Capture." A blind user might want to
disable video display especially in a communal setting.

There should be a concept of multiple devices of a class, e.g. multiple
screens or multiple audio devices.

So, I think we have some things to discuss here. I'm eager to learn
whether others read these specs as I do, or whether I'm misunderstanding
things.

Best,

Janina
