Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] WebCodecs (#433)

@cynthia and I are looking at this in a breakout at the TAG's virtual face-to-face.

We (the TAG) have looked at this a few times, and I think we're generally pretty happy with it.  The design looks appealingly simple -- which is either great (if it can stay simple in the end), or it's a sign that a bunch of things were missed in the design.  We're hoping it's the former.

[Peter's comment](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/433#issuecomment-616863996) gets at one of the tricky issues with adding new fundamental APIs that other things are built on, when those other things already exist.  When that happens, there's generally a process of making the existing features, like `MediaRecorder`, work with the new fundamental API.  That doesn't need to happen all at once, but it does often require somebody making sure that progress happens (e.g. by filing appropriate issues on places that will need to be changed, so we don't lose track) so that the desired end state can be reached.  We hope that happens here once the foundation is ready.

So I think we're going to close this issue.  Thanks requesting our feedback.  Let us know if there's anything else you'd like us to look at later on in the process.
