Re: [presentation-api] Presentations from within nested browsing contexts

Reply to @anssiko:

Yes, that is exactly what I had in mind.  The only detail is what to 
do when more than one `<iframe>` has the `allow-default-presentation` 
attribute and the UA initiates presentation.  It could pick 
arbitrarily or allow the user to choose.

within iframe? How about joinSession()?

For `joinSession()` - no, the intent is that no new presentations can 
be started, only reconnection to existing presentations, so the risk 
seems low here.

For `startSession()` - my inclination is "no," although it would 
depend on how the user agent would be able to inform the user about 
which `<iframe>` was requesting presentation.  For example, it would 
be not ideal to have an invisible `<iframe>` on a domain the user was 
not aware of be able to request presentation at any time.

To mitigate any confusion, we could require that the `<iframe>` meet 
the conditions of being able to show a popup [1] before it could 
invoke `startSession()`.

the top-level browsing context has explicitly opted in to allow 
iframes to initiate presentation sessions.

Sounds good, after we decide on the attribute vs. allow popups 
conditions for allowing `startSession()` in `<iframe>`s.
