To me "nascent" describes a process, a becoming, so that a thing cannot be "nascent" for very long. Given that page can sit in this state for hours, it's probably the wrong metaphor. Can we shorten the sentence to: The browser MUST provide an indication whenever the site has permission to access devices without further interaction with the user. - Jim On 5/27/2014 8:47 AM, Harald Alvestrand wrote: > On 05/27/2014 01:59 PM, bugzilla@jessica.w3.org wrote: >> https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22337 >> >> Stefan Hakansson LK <stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsson.com> changed: >> >> What |Removed |Added >> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> >> CC| |stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsso >> | |n.com >> >> --- Comment #5 from Stefan Hakansson LK >> <stefan.lk.hakansson@ericsson.com> --- >> The text supplied by Martin: >> >> "[active] The browser MUST provide noticeable indicia when actively >> capturing media from a device. >> >> [potential] The browser MUST provide indicia when a site has a nascent >> ability to capture from a device without a user consent prompt." >> > 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".
