Are you saying you need to probe the user's system without their 
permission for diagnostic reasons?

To me, gUM is about getting access, not probing. Get access first then 
probe all you want. Anything else is a privacy intrusion IMHO.

We're devising a mini-language for you to specify all your needs and 
wants in one go. Is there still some need you cannot express in one call?

As a design choice, I think we want gUM to find the most appropriate 
camera on the first try, so the user is generally prompted once, for the 
right camera.
