Re: [mediacapture-surface-control] Is it important for capture control to keep captured tab from knowing it is captured? (#42)

Only if it's capturing frames at the moment. There might be implementations in the future that don't capture frames if the window is minimized for instance. There might also be implementations that try to implement this API to work with both tab and window capture of a browser window.

If your implementation never does this then it would easily satisfy this requirement, and this shouldn't be an imposition. nevertheless, I think it would be good to have in the spec to cover potential other implementations.

Thanks for this link. Maybe we can make this change there to check the docment's [visibility state](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/interaction.html#visibility-state), which it doesn't do currently.
