Re: [mediacapture-region] What makes CropTarget special to require an asynchronous creation? (#17)

This is a known problem that is solved in modern browsers. A transferred WritableStream should not do multiple IPCes to locate the process of its sink when writing new values.
As I said before, I'd like to understand why it would be more difficult with CropTarget than with all these other existing APIs.

It is more costly to both web developers and web engines. It is not consistent with existing Web APIs AFAIK.
