This example confuses me. What do you mean by "(constructed) MediaStream"?
I proposed that any MediaStream created by the WebIDL constructors would
support addTrack/removeTrack.

This confuses me too. If the app requested audio and video from
getUserMedia, gUM could add the video track automatically when the camera
is attached. Again, my proposal wouldn't affect this.
