Quick status:
I've re-found the thread that says the DAP and WebRTC chairs will meet
to discuss the division of labor after Aug 17.
We're all in sync that we need a single interface to find, enumerate and
be granted access to devices, but the functions for capturing still
images may be in a different spec from the ones for capturing moving
images / streams.
So far, nobody seems to have written down a proposal that everyone
agrees is great, so "in progress" is the best we can say about it. The
<device> proposal seems to have no current supporters.
