Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] File Handling (#371)

We should probably look a little more at how the permissions flow works here, and whether multiple implementations seem likely to be comfortable with that.  (This might also be related to how to structure permission prompts for Native File System, given the dependency.)

It seems like there are two points when File Handling might ask a user for permission:
 1. when registering the handler, or
 2. when invoking the handler for the first time.

I think the first might be problematic because it's a permission request somewhat detached from any action that the user wants to complete.

But the second also seems problematic because it's putting the question in the middle of a flow where the user is trying to open the file, putting the user in a position where they're very likely to just say "Yes" to any prompts in order to get the result they want.
