Re: [presentation-api] Add note on how presentations without connections should be handled. (#484)

A couple of comments:

1. Doesn't the note actually contradict the note that's right before it and that says: "The connection *must provide a two-way messaging abstraction* [...]"?
2. In particular, many apps will expect a communication channel to be available. This note suggests that user agents may not provide one. Isn't that going to break the user experience?

In other words, I believe that the controlling user agent should never offer to connect to a receiving user agent that wouldn't be able to provide a communication channel, unless the application is explicit that the communication channel is optional (or unless we're talking about a URI scheme different from `http` and `https`, but then that's out of scope of the spec). That is the reason why I was proposing some sort of option to the `PresentationRequest` constructor.

In any case, if there are no implementation plans for such a feature, it should probably just be dropped.
