For me it's difficult to imagine a realistic use case where just getting 
a list of supported resolutions and formats is enough while setting the 
preferred resolution and format is not possible. That is what the draft 
allows currently.

Therefore I believe there are two options. Either remove
supportedImageFormats, supportedVideoFormats and supportedAudioFormats 
variables from the API or complement those with ability to set the 
preferences based on values of these variables. If the second option 
affects to overall schedule of our v1 work then I'm ready to consider 
resorting to the first option.
