Re: [w3c/permissions] autoplay permission (#172)

Hey, so cool to see this issue! We were just discussing this over in [the TAG's design-review repo](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/203) and this existing issue saves me from opening a new one to also convey our feedback 😊

We [the TAG] also agree that this is an important need. After deliberating, our conclusion seemed to land with modelling this as a Permission too. Here's the official resolution:

> Media autoplay should be under user control, that could mean for example having a setting "yes, autoplay is OK across the board" or it could mean origin-specific permissions prompts. "yes, netflix can autoplay videos". ---> therefore modeling autoplay as a permission is desirable because the diversity of effective policies will require that sites be able to introspect the policy without attempting to play media.

We're happy to discuss further! Thanks for indulging my interjection here.
