jan-ivar has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main: == Reinstate strong language on permission ending when tracks stop, lost by editorial mistake == In February, [the spec said](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/archives/20160222/getusermedia.html#source-stopped): "When all tracks using a source have been stopped or ended by some other means, the source is stopped. Unless there is a stored permission for the source in question, the given permission is revoked and the User Agent SHOULD also remove the "permission granted" indicator for the source." This predates editorial attempts at integrating with the permissions spec, and says that while removing the indicator is optional, revoking permission is not, unless it's been "stored". Compare to [today](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#source-stopped): "When all tracks using a source have been stopped or ended by some other means, the source is stopped. If there is no stored permission for the source, the User Agent SHOULD also remove the "permission granted" indicator for the source. If the data is being generated from a live source (e.g., a microphone or camera), then the User Agent SHOULD remove any active "on-air" indicator for that source." This no longer says anything should happen to the permission, and makes it sounds like stopping all tracks SHOULD revoke permisson. We should clarify that this is not the case with stronger language closer to the February consensus.
