`getViewportMedia` helps for self-capture, but does not address the topics of allow-listed sites (including same-origin/same-site as special cases). I think that (issue = #159 / PR = #163) solves the problem from #143 satisfactorily, after incorporating @youennf's input about exposing origin. #163 allows arbitrary capturing apps to distinguish desired/undesired capture-targets after the user has made their uncoerced selection.
(Side-note: This is just one of several things #163 enables.)
