mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api: == Is a new Permission type required for presentation display availability? == This issue considers whether it's required to add an explicit enum to the Permissions API [1] to track the request by a page to monitor presentation display availability via the Presentation API [2] (as a followup to https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api/issues/45#issuecomment-153300990). Currently, user agents may deny the request for continuous monitoring of screen availability based on power consumption considerations. Based on TAG review of the API [3], there was a sense that some user agents may also want to make this an explicit permission granted by the user, to allow the user to control the amount of information discoverable about their network environment. We'll add discussion here, and then make an issue/PR against the Permissions API if necessary. @mounirlamouri @marcoscaceres do you have any feedback? What is the criteria for including a new permission type in the API?
