Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Web Audio API: RenderCapacity API (Issue #843)

An addendum on security... We think that the general approach to managing side-channel risk is acceptable.
  
Overall, fewer buckets would be preferable; at most 10, though preferably 5.  Though surveys indicate that some number of sites would be unhappy with fewer than 10 buckets, there is an opportunity to revise the number of buckets over time based on feedback on use.  Increasing the number of buckets should be feasible without affecting site compatibility.  Starting with a more private default is the conservative option.  Increasing resolution carries a small risk in that change events are more likely to occur more often (see API design feedback).
  
More detail is ultimately necessary to understand the design:

1. Is hysteresis involved?
2. Is the reported value a maximum/average/percentile?
3. What happens when the load exceeds 100%?
