I do not particularly care what research you will find to support the
UI-flow that the existence of a requestAPIs API will eventually give rise
to. I do say simply this, the research presented, and pretty much common
sense as well easily shows that the current course is foolhardy and ungainy

I would like the permissions to be changeable. Not a one time dialog that
appears and irrevocably commits me to my choices, but a page with
enable/disable toggles I can return and review the permissions and change
at any time.
How about instead of a request API the required permissions are in
I thought this was obvious but maybe not. Of course I had in mind that:
- A user gets some centralized place to manage his sites
- He can change permissions
- If the sites preferences change, the permissions pop up again.
- Some way for the user to re-engage the permission dialog for the site

There are benefits to the user, in that it allows all permissions to be
managed from one place.
I am not sure I like the idea of making the popups an application thing. I
think it should be decided by the browser. In any case you would still need
the ...Allow callbacks as the user may have gone
And you can have the *the* callback (singular, centralized) as
onAPIPermissionChange just fine.
If you want to improve things for the user and the developer, you can't go
with a solution that doesn't make it any easier for the developer. Your
solution will be ignored, nay ridiculed. If you want
I didn't think of that. The app would have to maintain its own set of
permission flags updated by the callback. I am not sure that's easier than
just chaining an anonymous function... But I guess that's a programming
style issue.

Usually games (especially 3D applications) would like to get capabilities
that they can use out of the way up front so they don't have to care about
it later on.
