Re: [mediacapture-region] What should the spec say about elements like HTMLAudioElement? (#51)

Feel free to file a bug on Firefox, but can we agree this is irrelevant here? I've already shown the spec algorithm, and Chrome is compliant.

As you can see, it works. I think it's a good API. From a web developer's perspective:
- It's the least surprising result
- It says what it does and does what it says
- It doesn't restrict or convey judgement about whether what you're trying to accomplish is "sensible" or not
- It simplifies documentation (no need to mention what uses browser vendors consider sensible or not)
- It's more work on browser vendors to make it KISS for web developers (in line with the priority of constituencies)
- It's done (no need to maintain or update list of sensible use cases)
