Re: [mediacapture-region] Should generation of CropTarget from elements be able to fail? (#48)

In addition to DoS, it might be a potential fingerprinting issue, implementations should really avoid these issues.
We should be careful to not introduce such potential pitfalls in specs.
Failing later at cropTo time has very limited privacy concerns given user gave permission to do capture.

Also, as discussed before, there are ways to avoid these issues while retaining the benefits of early allocation in non pathological cases. I do not see what prevents Chrome to switch to this kind of implementation.

I also disagree with failing earlier being better. I believe web developers will not account for this and this might lead to very mysterious reasons/hard to debug reasons.
