I believe Rigo is referring to this text in RFC 7478:

   The browser must provide mechanisms for users to revise and even
   completely revoke consent to use device resources such as camera and
   microphone.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7478#section-4.2 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7478#section-4.2>

If, to comply with that, we should add a requirement to draft-ietf-rtcweb-security-arch for revocation, which it sounds like implementing browsers already support, just let us know where to send the pull request.
