Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Early design review: Document Picture-in-Picture (Issue #798)

> Can you elaborate on how this concern has been addressed? In the response to this question I'm reading from @liberato-at-chromium "However, I don't believe that Document PiP makes the situation any worse." We're trying to push spec developers to "leave the web better than you found it." [...] So I think we'd like to understand how Document picture-in-picture makes things _better_ for end users on this front.

Document PiP makes the web better because we've seen a lot of (legitimate, not abusive) demand for always-on-top arbitrary content.

My comments earlier were just trying to say that we aren't introducing a new vector for abuse in the process of providing those improvements, because it's not more abusable that what's already there.  I might be able to make the case that it's actually less so.  For example, the site can't move or resize a document pip window via scripting.  However, I don't think those differences are a reason we'd do any of this.
