In implementing this spec for WebKit, I have become convinced that the
implementation of a readyState accessor is so incredibly trivial that even if
the only benefit were to keep script authors from having to calculate the
minimum readyState of the slaved media elements, it would still be worth
adding.

But as there is no accessor in MediaController for the current slaved media
elements, even doing this calculation script-side has the potential for errors.

bring them up to speed.

Note that, currently, attaching a playing media element to a media group does
not trigger "reporting the controller state", and thus in this situation the
minimum slaved element readyState and the controller readyState are not the
same.

As such, I'd like to reopen this bug for consideration.
