Re: [w3c/permissions] Requesting permissions needs to be able to ask for multiple things (#92)

What is the point of `request` and `requestAll` if not to untangle permission from existing resource acquisition APIs? That at it's core seems to go against the web permission model we've been building so far, where permission is a question between the user agent and its user, buried in existing resource request APIs, which work fine, and seems to have been successful so far in giving us a web that is forgiving and unlike Android.

If we make something easier to do, then more people will do it.

I also haven't heard a clear statement about what behavior proponents want out of `request` and `requestAll`. They either allow sites to ask for permission sooner than they need, and in bulk, in which case it is streamlining bad behavior, or it doesn't, in which case it doesn't seem to add anything. Which is it?
