RE: [Bug 23220] Add 'zoom' constraint to VideoStreamTrack

I believe you alone are laying out the criteria as to what is controversial and what is not.

What background?  You can look at the meeting notes (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-capture/2013Feb/0034.html)  and discern that there was a  show of hands taken on individual constraints.  There was no indication of what the actual company-by-company vote was.  For all I know, more than one person from a given company may have been raising their hands (maybe even persons representing companies who are not members of the W3C - remember that it was  a joint IETF meeting).  There was no debate on 'zoom' specifically.   This was not what I consider any kind of debate or binding decision.

> You don't have to have a bug open to present something to the mailing list. Make your case first; afterwards we can file the bug, if the group indicates a desire to adopt.

Fine with me.  I'll put something forward to the list.

Bug 23220 was out for slightly longer without any debate.  I could use your logic to come to the conclusion that bug 23220 is 'uncontroversial', but I'll settle to merely use your comments on bug 23263 as an example of what I believe is inconsistency on your part.

That's convoluted. I don't like it (I don't think it's sufficient for the purpose, and is not necessary to include in this verision of the spec), so there's certainly controversy.

Yes, that was proposed. And that feature did not make it into what's incorporated in the current spec. The notes from the February meeting I pointed you at give some background for that decision.

You don't have to have a bug open to present something to the mailing list. Make your case first; afterwards we can file the bug, if the group indicates a desire to adopt.
