Since I'm not sure what "nascent" means in this context even after 
reading dictionary.com (it says "1. beginning to exist or develop: the 
nascent republic"), I suggest something like:

The browser MUST provide an indication whenever the site has permission 
to access devices, that is, it can call getUserMedia() and get access to 
a camera without any user prompt.

(I'm not too sure about "indicia" either. dictionary.com claims it's a 
plural of "indicium", which is "a printed message or instruction", or 
"an indication or token". I feel less unsure about "indication".)
