Hm... for the case where it's not '*' and it's not a legal deviceId?

No, that's not specified - I thought the API would have a general text saying "if the parameters are illegal, the result is an error" - but there doesn't seem to be any such language; when retrieving a permission object that doesn't exist, the result is implementation-defined, but always returning "prompt" is one suggested resolution.

I'd suggest an error for illegal descriptors. WDYT?
