[mediacapture-region] Why exposing produceCropTarget at MediaDevices level? (#11)

youennf has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region:

== Why exposing produceCropTarget at MediaDevices level? ==
Looking at the algorithm, it seems the same CropTarget object will be created if produceCropTarget is called several times on the same element.
That would probably be specified by adding a CropTarget slot on HTMLElement directly.
This would also solve probably the cloning element cropTarget issue.

The second question is whether below API might not be better suited:
partial interface HTMLElement {
  readonly attribute Promise<CropTarget> cropTarget;
}
I am also wondering why we even need a promise there.
It seems implementations could produce a cropTarget synchronously without any IPC, which would end up with:

partial interface HTMLElement {
  readonly attribute CropTarget cropTarget;
}
