I'm willing to entertain the possibility that I am wrong. Let me try to summarize: My concern, specifically, is that application developers will be able to create applications that "work on my machine", but fail for their users by using mandatory constraints that result in failure for some users. Your concern, as I understand it, is that application developers will be unable to select devices that are not suitable for their application because removing mandatory constraints allows the user to select unsuitable devices. Is that right? I did not mention any cases where mandatory constraints could be "tested" without consent dialogs because we have no such API, and none currently proposed. --Martin
