Re: [mediacapture-main] Bug in spec: circular dependency for enumerateDevices() (#709)

> What is the value of the additional requirement to **successfully** open a device?

Capture indicators are usually tied to successfully opening the device.
If the device cannot be opened, capture indicators will not kick in and a web page could potentially silently get all capture setup information without the user knowing anything about it.

The reverse question is also interesting: what is the practical value for not adding this requirement?
