Re: [webappsec] Dec 1, Thread 1: Rechartering

OK, so I missed my own deadline, but did get feedback.

Can folks live with the following charter edits around Permission API to
clarify the scope?

Current:

"Permissions API

Create and advance a recommendation to allow web applications to be aware
of the status of a given permission, to know whether it is granted,
denied, or if the user will be asked whether the permission should be
granted."

Proposed:

"Permissions API

Create and advance a recommendation to allow web applications to be aware
of the status of a given permission, to know whether it is granted,
denied, or if the user will be asked whether the permission should be
granted.  This specification will expose the current state of, and allow
triggering a request for a permissions grant with an API.  This
recommendation will not address user agent implementations of permissions,
including their scope, duration, granularity, or user interface and
experience for indicating, configuring, or asking for permissions."
