Re: [mediacapture-screen-share] Identification of Captured Application By Capturer (#166)

> If we think we will add postMessage communication level, I do not see why we should support the string API.

We will still want the string even if we add the channel:
1. Because this allows the capturee to send a message that basically says "here is what you need to know, and you don't even have to let me know you're capturing me to find this out."
2. Some companies have multiple independent products with the same origin. For example, Google has Docs, Slides and Sheets all under the umbrella of docs.google.com. If capturing one of these, it is useful to know immediately which it is. They might use different protocols when communicating over the MessageChannel that you propose, produced at different times by different teams.

Can we agree to label the channel as an improvement?
