Hi Anssi, A couple of editorial comments (not sure if there's still a window of opportunity for changes, feel free to disregard if that isn't the case): - The wording in the abstract seems to imply HTML Media Capture is only useful to immediately upload captured content. It might be worth mentioning it gives the document access to the capture content through the File API which allows client-side manipulation and storing (in IndexedDB). - I am not sure I fully understand the sentence "These form extensions enable the upload of still images, video, and audio directly from a device capture mechanism but capture the default offered by the device, providing limited control over what is captured." - It would be great to mention some use cases in there (such as being able to take a picture using a mobile phone) and what advantages it offers over getUserMedia (e.g. For pictures, the implementor can implement a hardware shutter button, offer native image filtering, cropping, save to gallery, etc., none of which can be done with getUserMedia). Best, --tobie
