Re: [mediacapture-main] API to expose the angle of view of a camera

I agree this is multifaceted. I believe the chairs would be in the 
best position to take this topic onward (since this is OT for this 
specific issue now). Here are my thoughts:

* abstract versioning

Process-driven way would be to tie this to the Rec Track, and say that
 what gets in CR is considered v1. But this is often too late in 
practice. My hunch is this particular requirement for advancement 
should be central to the v1/vnext/extension decision:

>* must document how adequate implementation experience will be 
demonstrated,

* expectation settings

I feel adding a "v2" or "feature request" label to such issues would 
solve this.

* practical versioning

If in WG's scope, chairs investigate if there are enough editorial 
resources, interested implementers, otherwise work in WICG or a 
dedicated CG first.

* specific extensibility issue

More clearly defined extension points would definitely help keep the 
extensions specs consistent. I kind of like the way how the [SW 
extensibility section][1]) gives concise and concrete guidance to 
extension spec authors with boilerplate IDL and prose. This helps keep
 multiple extension specs consistent among themselves. I feel the 
Constrainable Pattern section is not as clear in this regard.
