Questions about the MediaStream Image Capture API proposal

Hi Giri (or Stefan/Harald where relevant),

just wondering if this API is being pursued by the Media Capture Task 
Force?  This link (http://www.w3.org/TR/image-capture/) at the top of 
the document throws a 404 and I couldn't find any links to it except in 
the list thread where it was proposed.

There was also some feedback in the thread of the original proposal 
about splitting out settings.
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2013Feb/0082.html

I wondered if this was happening?

I also have a few other questions about this document.

2.2 Methods -> getFrame point 2. mentions "{Note: Unlike frameGrabber(), 
getFrame() returns data only once upon being invoked.}".  But there's no 
reference to frameGrabber() anywhere else. Has this been removed?  This 
distinction of one-off versus looping still seems very relevant to me.

If frameGrabber() did exist, would you be able to replace the 
"pictureDevice.getFrame();" line in Example 2 and then processFrame(e) 
would just be called when every new frame arrives?

In Example 1, wouldn't pictureDevice.onphotosettingschange's function 
never be called because the pictureDevice.setOptions() call had already 
happened before this was defined?

There's also a small typo - the table in 2.2 Methods -> setOptions() has 
some broken unicode chars in them e.g. ✔
