Re: Google/Mozilla Presentation API update

Hi, 

I think the support of multiple controllers is important to benefit some use cases. 
The web game can allow multiple players for one. 

Maybe we can refer to NSD [1] which provided two EventHandler for notifying service found or lost. 
(For Presentation API here, maybe session joined or leaved and under NavigatorPresentation) 
Then the session object in presenting page [2] will become multiple ones. 

The question is do we allow presenting page to explicitly reject or deny second or later sessions? 
(ex: when I choose a game to single player mode then presenting page can reject others player.)

Indeed, I don't think the API as it's currently defined allows for 
multiple controllers.
