[tvcontrol-api] Parallel with WebRTC model

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

== Parallel with WebRTC model ==
The TAG notes:
> The spec envisions two scenarios: Controlling a TV/DVR and 
controlling TV playback through a `<video>` tag 
> * The WebRTC model has many parallels in regards to the 
objects/structures used to both find media and consume the media. 
Unlike RTC end-points, TV controllers do not need to negotiate for 
discovery because a client can know whether a local TV tuner is 
installed. However, from the POV of the Tuner, there is still an 
entire channel/program/stream discovery that must take place--and 
that's where we start to see many parallels. If we consider 
integrating the `TVTuner` (and related interfaces) into an object that
 is obtained from a negotiation with something on the server that is 
producing the media, then that object becomes a central control point 
from which APIs can be defined that configure/constrain that stream. 
(It also allows ambiguity for the `TVTuner` to be either a local or 
remote/network based source--in a similar way to how RTC 
`MediaStream`s represent either local camera/mic control sources or 
over-the-network remote streams).
