The process where the element originates does not need to be consulted again. That might be a valid implementation, but it's not a necessary implementation. Allow me to tell you about Chrome's implementation. Chrome "tags" the Element in the rendering pipeline as soon as `produceCropTarget()` is called. This tagging travels along to the GPU process, which collates data from the many processes associated with the different frames. The process where the Element lives never finds out that it's being captured, let alone that an active capture is being cropped to an Element in said process.
