Re: [webrtc-stats] powerEfficientEncoder/powerEfficientDecoder (#666)

Should we point out this may leak information about other concurrent user activities? E.g. If a certain hardware codec is suddenly no longer available, it could mean the user is watching video on another site.

I find this argument compelling, and I think stronger language on what information UAs MUST and MUST NOT include in encoderImplementation/decoderImplementation would go along well with this change. Can we do that?
