Re: MediaRecorder: stopRecording event language

Oops. Sorry. The TR is a bit more explicit about this:

A MediaStream object is said to be finished when all tracks belonging to
the stream have ended. When this happens for any reason other than the
stop() method being invoked, the user agent must queue a task that runs the
following steps:

If the object's ended attribute has the value true already, then abort
these steps. (The stop() method was probably called just before the stream
stopped for other reasons, e.g. the user clicked an in-page stop button and
then the user agent provided stop button.)

Set the object's ended attribute to true.

Fire a simple event named ended at the object.

---

It clearer now than before that the spec means the 'ended' event does not
happen if stop() is called. I think MediaRecorder should follow the same
names and semantics.
