Re: [mediacapture-region] Should we support strings in addition or in lieu of opaque identifiers? (#46)

The UUID is still opaque if it observes [these guidelines](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/46#issuecomment-1165788089). I believe the crux of your concern is not opaqueness, but rather transmissibility to remote servers. I believe transmissibility to be desirable, because it allows cross-origin collaboration that would easily hook up to existing infrastructure. You have brought up a possible [abuse scenario](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/46#issuecomment-1165437485). I don't personally see it as credible, but we can have different opinions, that's fine. I have [shown](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/46#issuecomment-1166239345) that technically, the same concern exists already; however, now you believe my scenario is not credible. (That's also fine.) How do we resolve this? Do you have a suggestion for determining which concerns are credible and which are not?
