[presentation-api] Check references category and stability

tidoust has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api:

== Check references category and stability ==
I'm creating this issue to track down references. It does not need to 
be addressed before publication as a Candidate Recommendation.

For the Presentation API to be published as a final W3C 
Recommendation, normative references will need to reference stable 
specs, the rule of thumb being that a Recommendation should 
normatively link to other Recommendations (or similar documents 
published by other organizations) and not to working drafts.

There may be exceptions to the rule, which should be documented in the
 Status of This Document section. For instance, since WebIDL is not 
yet a Recommendation, recently published specs have sentences such as 
"By publishing this Recommendation, W3C expects the functionality 
specified in this Recommendation will not be affected by changes to 
Web IDL as the WebIDL specification proceeds to Recommendation." as in
 the Web Storage spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-webstorage-20160419/#status-of-this-document

Also, we need to ensure that references are correctly flagged as 
normative or informative, depending on how they get used in the spec.

Making a quick pass through the spec:

- [ ] Check terms:
 - [ ] "in parallel", defined in HTML5.1.
 - [ ] WebIDL terms, although WebIDL Level 1 might move forward on the
 Rec track in the meantime
 - [ ] `NotAllowedError`, defined in WebIDL (Second Level) but not in 
WebIDL Level 1
 - [ ] `Blob`, defined in the File API spec
 - [ ] Terms defined in the Mixed Content spec
 - [ ] Terms defined in the Permissions spec

- [ ] Convert to normative references (because of their use in the 
"create a receiving browsing context" algorithm):
 - [ ] Cookies
 - [ ] IndexedDB
 - [ ] Permissions
 - [ ] WebStorage

- [ ] Consider updating the "create a receiving browsing context" to 
use prose such as "If the user agent supports IndexedDB, set the 
databases for C to an empty set of databases" to clarify that the 
action is conditional to the user agent supporting the feature in the 
first place.
