Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] WebTransport (#389)

@ylafon and I discussed during our Wellington F2F.

We think this proposal is extremely interesting, and will bring a whole new set of capabilities to the web. However, we also consider this a pretty powerful feature - and was wondering about the implications of the constructor magically connecting, hence not being able to be a promise. (which would allow gating it behind a permission) We also had some concerns about port scanning through this mechanism (e.g. through timing based testing, albeit it would only work on UDP ports for now) but it does feel like gating this behind a permission would be good enough as a mitigation.
