Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Web Share API (#179)

I see. I think this is so weak because we had trouble making up our minds on Chrome (and it is ultimately at the user agent's discretion what to do around UX in private browsing). Our security team initially [flagged it as a problem](https://crbug.com/645007) so we added a warning dialog when sharing from Incognito. Then our UX team said they didn't think it was necessary, and security agreed on the grounds that there would always be a picker shown, and that would be enough for a user to realise they are sharing data, so we [removed it](https://crbug.com/645007#c5).

I left the paragraph in the spec because other user agents may feel differently about explicitly warning the user. I guess if you want the spec to reflect the opinion of Google, we would either take this paragraph out, or change it to a SHOULD NOT. But it seems like something for an implementor to consider, and we don't have a particularly strong reason not to show an additional warning in this case. What would you recommend?
