RE: [Bug 22594] noaccess / peerIdentity as constraints

If the UA wants to display a dialog with specific text, I don't think that actual text needs to be specified in this document.  As a comparison point, refer to the guidance in HTML Media Capture for security:  http://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/#security.  But as far as I can tell, none of the DAP WG specs lay out any normative requirements as to the actual text displayed in dialog boxes (but if I'm wrong, please correct me).

I also don't understand what "identity-of-peer-user" means in a Media Capture context. Moreover, there exist applications that do not require P2P communications, and I don't see why this kind of constraint would be relevant in this case.  Moreover, it is clear that there is no consensus within the group on this particular topic, so I don't know why the editors pulled this into the spec in the first place.

This constraint may be more meaningful as part of any permissions prompt for  WebRTC, but that issue should be discussed in that WG.  If it has already been discussed there and rejected, then this looks like venue shopping;

Giri,

can you develop your thoughts a bit?

I have on the list proposed that much of the peerIdentity stuff should be moved to the WebRTC document, but if the UA would want to display a special dialogue with the gUM prompt ("the app asking for access to your camera will no be able to record the media, or be able to send to anyone else than identity-of-peer-user") it should be documented in this document I think.

Stefan
