Re: Default to an optional/advanced constraint?

Anssi,

short answer: No, but you don't need that.

No. More behaviors for constraints is the last thing we need.

The meaning of that construct is the same as

  ... getUserMedia( { depth: { dephtPrecision: { ideal: "mm" }}

which is precisely what you asked for - you'll get it if it's OK, you
won't get it if it's not OK. You can then query the chosen value by
using getSettings (when implemented).

NOTE: I think the idea of a "depthPrecision" constraint is misguided and
should be abandoned, but I've commented more on that at
https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-depth/issues/100
