+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #23775 +++

The Media Capture and Streams draft spec adds an srcObject attribute to the
HTMLMediaElement [1]. 
It is considered for the Media Source Extension specification to also rely on
srcObject instead of URL.createObjectURL [2] since many people in the WebApps
WG think the use of URL.createObjectURL should be avoided [2]. 

So, it would be preferable if the definition of this srcObject attribute was in
the HTML5 spec in particular to care for 'the resource load algorithm'.
