Re: [csswg-drafts] [cssom-view] Expose video plane pixel ratio (#6891)

This proposal was discussed in today's call. [Full transcript here](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5044#issuecomment-995006227). Let me respond to some points:

> <fantasai> smfr: imagine you have two screens, right hand is dedicated to video presentation
> <fantasai> smfr: somehow magically when you present video, it shows up on the right
> <fantasai> smfr: but window object is associated with the left hand screen
> <fantasai> smfr: so would be weird if it reported characteristics of right hand screen
> <fantasai> ???: Is this possible today?
> <fantasai> smfr: UA thing, UA could decide to send fullscreen video to a particular screen
...
> <fantasai> florian: a browser could have two different videos on different screens, but that's a very different setup than here
> <fantasai> smfr: I understand, I just don't want us to design a problem for foldables

I think this idea to relocate fullscreen video won't work because most streaming sites actually fullscreen a div containing the video to allow for custom controls. 

> <fantasai> florian: This isn't necessarily about fullscreen video.
> <fantasai> florian: if you have youtube playing in the middle of your web page, you would apply this ratio within the video
> <fantasai> smfr: No, I don't think so, I think it only applies to fullscreen
> ...
> <fantasai> smfr: I think we should ask experts for feedback

@jpiesing (TV expert) indicated that this is not just about full screen in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/5044#issuecomment-723032003. 

> <fantasai> smfr: I think it would be very confusing for author

@smfr, can you say more about the confusion? Streaming sites are already be accustomed to listening for changes to the element size and/or fullscreen events as a trigger to adapt content resolution.
