Braw mornin' TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of Conditional Focus.

When an application starts capturing a display-surface, the user agent faces a decision - should the captured display-surface be brought to the forefront, or should the capturing application retain focus.

The user agent is mostly agnostic of the nature of the capturing and captured applications, and is therefore ill-positioned to make an informed decision.

In contrast, the capturing application is familiar with its own properties, and is therefore better suited to make this decision. Moreover, by reading displaySurface and/or using Capture Handle, the capturing application can learn about the captured display-surface, driving an even more informed decision.

Further details:

You should also know that...

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (please delete all but the desired option):
