Dicsussion of use cases for MediaStreamTrack transfer in Google uncovered several use cases where the restriction of a source to one context was severely harmful to the use case.
The obvious case was when one moved a track to display in a different tab, and then closed the original tab.
In this case, it would be better to define the privacy indicators as an UA-level property, and the source as being independent of context.
