My personal opinion is that this API is still quite interesting for TV-products. And that it fits the security model of the web. It's much less privacy sensitive than getUserMedia or geolocation for example, and so could use the same security model. The fact that we restricted it to privileged apps I think was overly cautious. However, I don't think that it's high enough priority that it's something that we should invest in at this time. So I would skip the second paragraph and instead add "at this time" to the end of the first. / Jonas _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
