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

> I would like you to address what I https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/51#issuecomment-1139903549 so we don't go in circles

I believe I have addressed this multiple times during the past 1.5 years. ["To not waste the WG's time"](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/51#issuecomment-1139942790), I don't intend to address these topics again. The API shape and its trade-offs should be clear by now. We are discussing whether improvements can be made around the edges, with some niche elements being excluded from this API because they make no sense, are useless to implement, and won't be employed by any developer because of their unique idiosyncracies.

> Lastly, web developers can already crop to any element [using trial and error and pixel coordinates](https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/insertable-streams/video-crop/),

That is not robust to resizing events, which is a major reason why we even have Region Capture - as you should know. I don't see how this is relevant to our present discussion.

This would be the [second](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/48#issuecomment-1135977959) time you ask me to branch this particular discussion. Actually, [third](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/48#issue-1241544786) time we do it, although I don't recall if you asked for the first time. I think the way to [show respect for this WG's time](https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region/issues/51#issuecomment-1139942790) is to drive this discussion to completion without additional distractions.
