Re: [spec-reviews] permissions API (#45)

There two interfaces in the spec are [`Permissions`](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#idl-def-Permissions) and [`PermissionStatus`](https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#idl-def-PermissionStatus). Would it make sense to construct either of these?

My diagnosis of this is that we *should* want WGs to stay open indefinitely, so that there is always someone to update a spec. Publishing to TR/ and closing down is pretty terrible IMHO, e.g. if I found a problem with http://www.w3.org/TR/media-frags/ today there would be a lot of overhead in getting it fixed.

(Friction in getting specs updated also leads to monkey patching.)
