Re: [w3c/permissions] Requesting permission shouldn't imply storing it. (#93)

@jyasskin The `request()` API is [still controversial](https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/83) as I understand it.

I think my immediate concern is that the editors of *Media Capture and Stream* spec (which is past last-call) appear to think this (non-consensus) Editor's Draft's ***request a permission*** *algorithm* is something they can [normatively call](http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#request-permission) from their [getUserMedia algorithm](http://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/getusermedia.html#dom-mediadevices-getusermedia) (step 7).

Would the ***request a permission*** algorithm return `'prompt'` or `'granted'` in this case to signify temporary access?

Would anything else be returned from this algorithm to the `getUserMedia` algorithm (like a stream)?
