Re: ACTION-74: Propose options to move forward with Capture

Hello all,

The Capture API has now been updated to reflect Robin's two proposals. 
Additionally introduced is new options parameter.

This update comes very late but I hope it's still useful for the Capture 
API session in Prague.

A possible proposal for this has been described at http://www.w3.org/mid/165A9ED1-009D-4EDB-AA7D-689B2326DB92@robineko.com. This proposal can be refined to include some desirable aspects that have been requested (such as controlling the likes of zoom, aperture, etc.).
