leshi has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== How should the browser handle CredentialMediationRequirement for public key credentials? ==
`CredentialRequestOptions` in webauthn extends `CredentialRequestOptions` from CredMan.  I'm reproducing it below for easy reference:

```
dictionary CredentialRequestOptions {
  CredentialMediationRequirement mediation = "optional";
};

enum CredentialMediationRequirement {
  "silent",
  "optional",
  "required"
};
```

I'm not sure how a WebAuthn implementation should handle the mediation parameter.  It is not referenced at all in the WebAuthn spec.  We should clarify this.
