The point was that without a user-prompt, we could just make the device parameters available to the application. The application could peruse the menu and determine if anything suited it. Now, I don't like where this is going. I don't feel like we'd be doing anyone a favour if the permissions prompt were to disappear. That said, I could certainly see my way to having more information available to an application. That doesn't help much with the whole contention resolution problem. But I'm increasingly of the opinion that sharing control of a device is foolish. Sharing access, perhaps, but I'm not sure who wins when control is shared. Meta-comment: Where the hell is this discussion going? We were talking about mandatory restrictions, and now it's veered into user consent land again. I don't feel like any actual progress is being made in any direction. At least it started with something approximating a concrete proposal.
