But we can still use the requestAccessToX().then(gotAccess, didntGetAccess) style even if getting access is not done as the result of an infobar. Perhaps you get access if you declare the need in a manifest, or if you're transported over HTTPS, or you get it by default but the user can toggle it off on a per-webpage basis. The user-facing API can still be uniform.


I agree, .requestWhatever() doesn't imply an info bar. Uniformity across APIs is good here. We are looking to use this pattern also in the  Screen Wake Lock  API.
