*Permissions:* I agree with Brian that drag-n-drop is somewhat clumsy for
granting permissions (see how well that works for bookmarklets...). I'm
syncing up with Mike Smith on this tomorrow, and Glen and I will work on a
better
solution.
We're still in active discussion on a better (more discoverable and
simple) opt-in mechanism. We're discussed click for permission dialog,
install wizard and drag-and-drop. Once we come to a better solution, I
will update the spec.
Also, what happens next time I visit the app? Is it authorized to launch the
background task, or do I have to re-authorize it?
When the background task is allowed to start, it will continue to run
even when the browser is exited. Next time when the system is started
and the user logs in, the background task will run automatically
without any re-authorization since the permission has already been
granted last time.
*Lifetime:* Do we need the start on browser launch option? What's the use
case for this?
We'll remove this option from the API. However, to address concern
from those people with limited bandwidth or lack of resource, the
browser can add an option to let the user choose between start-on-
login and start-on-browser-launch.
*Process model:* Are there cases when a background task would need to
communicate with the tab that created it? For example, opening an event in
an existing calendar window.
Yes, the host page can talk to the background task through cross-
process MessagePort communication.
Overall, this seems like a well thought-out proposal!

Good idea about OK delay...
That part of the proposal is indeed the most controversial. Some folks love
it, some hate it. Modal dialog can provide UI for learn more..., ask for
specific permissions, perhaps even capture credentials to use while running
in the background. On the other side, Allow/Deny dialogs are sometimes
bad because they basically shift blame to the user w/o transparency on
what's going on.
So we do expect opt-in mechanism will perhaps change - please voice any
idea you like more.

Drag and drop seems like a clumsy and unfamiliar mechanism for granting
this capability. A modal dialog would be better. We can inject a delay on
making the OK button active if we are worried about clever attacks that get
users to click on an OK that appears underneath the cursor.
