As far as I can tell, this is the only condition from the permission state algorithm that needs to be duplicated. When you write, "all the checks that are added in the permission state algorithm," I'm not sure what other checks you have in mind. I'm wondering if it's somehow possible for powerful features to define addition checks here. Or if maybe you are considering future modifications to the specification that introduce new checks. Would you mind elaborating a bit?
