Re: [permissions] Add 'background-sync' permission (#60)

> Are you moving to a permission-based API?

At least in chrome we're likely never going to prompt for a background sync permission, but yes, we are going to add the possibility for users to disable background sync. We just haven't gotten around to updating the spec to address this possibility.
(as an aside, it doesn't seem very maintainable long term if every feature with a permission will need to update the permissions API spec... having such circular dependencies between feature and permissions API seems like it would make it impossible to move any spec forward as you don't want a "more stable" spec to depend on a "less stable" spec. Why can't specs just define their extensions to the permissions API in their own spec text?)
