Re: [mediacapture-handle] Use case for actions: Presentation automation (#37)

The underlying topic seems to be "should we really require activation?"
* Automation is one argument against activation.
* A second argument is that it might be desirable to produce some "setup" immediately when capture starts. For example, send "mute" and "first". Would be nice to not require activation for that, let alone two activations.

I think we need to establish the following principle in general - when someone wishes to introduce the requirement of transient activation (or similar) for an API, it's incumbent upon them to provide a hypothetical, credible abuse-case that would be prevented by the requirement of activation.
