The editor and working drafts of the HTML spec do not include all the
content from the January 12 version of that WHATWG document; in
particular, the srcObject attribute definition and operation on the HTML
Media Element is missing, whereas it was part of the October 2015 HTML
5.1 WD and is part of the WHATWG HTML LS document (and has been there
constantly for the past few months).

Since our "Media Capture and Streams" specification developed by the
WebRTC and Device APIs Working Group depends heavily on that part of the
specification and since we're looking at transitioning to Candidate
Recommendation soon, it would useful to understand if that change was
the result of an explicit decision, or the consequence of the source
transition to bikeshed; if the latter, it would be great to see that
particular case fixed, and useful to evaluate what other pieces might
have been lost in translation.

Thanks,

Dom
