@eladalon1983 We need:
 1. To reference an element within the same process
 2. This reference must not prevent GC of the element in that process
 3. We need to pass this reference to another process _and back_
 4. We _don't_ need to dereference it in the other process 

Since we _won't_ dereference in other processes, I see nothing scary, unsafe, harder, permissive, or unclear.

That's one level up, and seems irrelevant. I think the interesting part is _[how](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-region/#dom-browsercapturemediastreamtrack-cropto) "the user agent calculates the bounding box of the pixels belonging to the element, and crops the frame to the coordinates of this bounding box"_, which I would think has to happen in the capturee process where the element is, to track layout-movements of the element. Hence the _"and back"_.
