RE: Constraints structure and Capabilities API

Please don't cross post, it makes for a mess, pick a list, and then send the other list a reference to it:

fwiw, that comes from a header you'll receive in your message that looks like:

What happens if a browser can't meet some combination of constraints but could do them individually? :)

Seems reasonable.

What happens if someone does:

  {0:{video-min-height:600, mandatory:true},
   1:{video-max-height:500, mandatory:true}}

For trusted mode, this is ok, for untrusted mode, this is incredibly fingerprint.

I wouldn't mind something where the browser returns values based on what was requested...
