Re: [w3c/permissions] Retitle the Permissions spec to emphasize the infrastructure more. (#87)

Just wanted to point out, in case it wasn't obvious to everyone involved, that this "renaming" expanded the scope of the proposed API, from a passive read-only API to an active one (emphasis mine):

From:
> Abstract: The <cite>Permissions API</cite> ***allows a web application to be aware of the status of a given permission***, to know whether it is granted, denied or if the user will be asked whether the permission should be granted.

To:
> Abstract: The <cite>Permissions Standard</cite> defines common infrastructure for other specifications that need to interact with browser permissions. It also defines an API ***to allow web applications to query and request changes to the status of a given permission***.

I clearly don't understand your consensus building process, since I've seen no activity lately other than me and others protesting this direction, but thought I'd leave a record.
