Proposed draft charter addition - feature permissions

Related to  language in the draft charter for feature and privacy mechanisms, we currently have:

An API that allows web applications to register themselves as handlers/providers based on data string identifiers and an API that enables other web applications to discover these handlers/providers and gain permission to interact with them.

Privacy Mechanism for Device APIs

I suggest we add to the charter the following deliverable:

"Define feature permission identifiers and an interface for requesting user permission to use a feature."

This is based on work currently in process, based on
