(This may allow permissions > to survive a page reload.) The way we communicate with users is with indicators. From that perspective, either approach works. I tend to prefer the former. In the case where an application is granted access to camera 1, we don't want to also enable access to camera 2. I think that the latter implies a greater scope to consent than a single one-off interaction. I'd also like to keep this open to a degree of interpretation. Not all browsers will reach the same conclusions. Already, Chrome and Firefox are demonstrably different and I think that the current variation is within reasonable bounds.
