Re: [mediacapture-main] Is more needed regarding revocation?

If you treat "permission" and "access" as synonyms, does that clarify 
anything? You'll note that folks talk about "temporary permission" and
 "persistent permission" when they want to distinguish the two, just 
like you might talk about "temporary access" vs "persistent access".

> Firefox doesn't currently have an about:permissions page (it was 
removed), but when we did have it, "revoking persistent permission" in
 it (that is: changing from 'granted' to 'prompt' didn't stop any 
active tracks. Why should it? I don't see how that follows user 
intent.

That seems wrong: If I decide that foo.com shouldn't have access to my
 camera, and I revoke it from some global menu, I certainly don't want
 it to keep recording me from that tab I still have open. Any specs in
 this area should, of course, allow Firefox to implement such bad UI, 
but that doesn't mean we should change the terminology to pretend it's
 good.
