Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] allow getDisplayMedia "granted" permission to persist during the user session (#144)

If navigation breaks off the capture, then the user is "informed" by the user agent's UX that the capture has stopped. To start it again shortly afterwards, maybe 10s later, could be terribly surprising, and possibly have very bad consequences for the user, who might by now have loaded something quite embarrassing to the screen.

Furthermore, getDisplayMedia doesn't have "permission" in the classic sense. When the app calls getDisplayMedia, it does not know what display surface will be handed to it. The user chooses one each time. It's unclear what this proposal intends. Should the same surface be auto-selected? Ignoring edge cases (e.g. does that surface still exist?) for the moment, I don't think something like this has a chance of achieving consensus in the WG.
