Re: [screen-wake-lock] Require transient activation to request lock (#350)

> Can anyone come up with any reason to not consume the transient activation? I'm coming up kinda empty.

Normally I support consuming transient activation so that a single click on a webpage doesn't turn into a giant explosion of popup windows, prompts, etc.

But in this case I'm not so sure. The downside of doing wake lock _and some other thing_ is not very high. You can't wake lock twice in an annoying way, like you could with a popup window. And I believe this is how many videoconferencing sites will work: They will have some button like "start call", and when you hit that button, they will want to start a video, request media capture, and do a wake lock. Ideally you would not need to click twice to "start call".
