I don't understand what in my previous email makes you think this is the suggestion I'm making. Quite the contrary, actually. Nothing in my suggestion prevents a User Agent from combining permission requirements in a single prompt. Nothing even prevents a dedicated gaming device (for example) from granting access to a slew of clearly gaming related features without prompting the user for permission at all. Nothing prevents a user from authorizing his User Agent to switch to full screen without prompting. Or to switch to fullscreen without prompting for websites that have been recommended by his friends. Or whitelisted by the user. Or the user agent. Or a third party website. Etc. etc. etc. --tobie
