Draft - UAAG Action-833 Response to Re: HTML5 Bug 13624 - <video> The pause-on-exit flag

Draft language to submit to HTML5 A11y Taskforce

The User Agent Working group (UAWG) reviewed  Bug 13624 and references
provided. We did not find a compelling use case for making this part of
HTML5. This bug describes an interaction between screen readers and
browsers. As such, the user is not actively involved.  The bug does not
interfere with or contradict any Success Criteria in UAAG20.

If there's a compelling use case, please bring it to our attention, we can
certainly consider it.

Otherwise, we concur with closing this bug.
