The WebSerial interface doesn't cover the Universal Serial Bus, then? For USB, the OS has some underlying knowledge of what the device is, right? So we could do permissions for USB on a per-device rather than per-port basis, which is the right way to do it IMO. But AFAIK that's not possible for RS232.
