bikeshed: consider naming the permission multiscreen instead of window-placement #54

A suggestion from @inexorabletash

michaelwasserman commented 2 years ago

This is a reasonable suggestion, but some suggested enhancements (e.g. opening a popup in fullscreen, minimizing or maximizing the window) and related ongoing work in the web platform (potential efforts to deprecate window.moveTo(), etc. without something like a window-placement permission) might be cause to keep the window-placement name or some other name. This may merit further consideration before an API mvp milestone.

I agree with msw's comments above, re: actions that may not require "multiple screens" but still may be placed behind this permission. I am inclined to keep this as window-placement, unless there's some stronger reason to change.

@inexorabletash, do you see a risk here where there are future theoretical actions that do not fit in the "window placement" naming bucket but that would we would want to put behind this permission?

inexorabletash commented 2 years ago

Nah, I'm good with keeping it as is. Thanks for considering!
