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

Let's get back to the initial request:
> @hills to make sure I understand clearly your request: if permission to a device is granted, but opening that device fails for other reasons, then you argue that `enumerateDevices()̀` permission should be granted?

Are we good now in the fact that this has benefits but no identified drawbacks?

> Your goals are increasingly clearer, why not just implement those goals?

I just illustrated some of the benefits, another major benefit is consistency between browsers.
Browsers have different permission model and permission persistency.
Exposing permission model/persistency browsers differences to the web page is bad for the web developer that wants to support all browsers with a single code path.

This is specific to Chrome and not specified in any spec.
This is very UI territory land so I doubt we will be able to specify that.
