Good question. Ultimately I guess it is up to implementors and us (and 
then I mean the webrtc wg as well as the media capture tf).

If identity does not make it past the tollgate (2 implementations), it 
seems to me we would still have the option to enable getUserMedia with 
an 'isolated' (or some other name) MediaStreamConstraints member (with 
tracks that can only be consumed by 'appropriate media tags' (and not 
sent anywhere.

The natural place to spec that would IMO be in mediacapture-main, or an 
extension spec to -main (and we would still need two implementations 
eventually).

The best solution would be to get another implementation of Identity 
(including the isolated stream)!
