This means camcorder+audio would be the same as no capture attribute is present if the implementation's video camera control is unable to capture audio only. If the implementation's video camera control is able to capture audio only (in addition to video), then camcorder+audio and microphone+audio would yield similar results i.e. an audio file. >> >> If someone has a concrete proposal how to improve the prose, please let us know.

I added two extra bullets to the Security and privacy considerations section. I believe this would fit better there: [[ The user agent should not enable any device for media capture, such as a microphone or camera, until a user interaction giving implicit consent is completed. A user agent should also provide an indication when such an input device is enabled and make it possible to terminate such capture. Similarly, the user agent should allow the user: * to select the exact media capture device to be used if there exists multiple devices of the same type (e.g. a front-facing camera in addition to a primary camera). * to disable sound capture when in the video capture mode. ]] I'm open to suggestions how to word this more clearly. [...] >>> 9 Specify that capture attribute can be in markup, not just script LC-2640 ( https://www.w3.org/2006/02/lc-comments-tracker/43696/WD-html-media-capture-20120712/2640 ) >> >> The specification extends the input element's File Upload state, which is defined in HTML5.

All the examples are in markup, which should address this concern. I would not change the normative prose in order to stay in sync with the HTML5 spec. [...] The Editor's Draft has been updated: http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/ The diff: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2009/dap/camera/Overview.html.diff?r1=1.133;r2=1.134;f=h I believe the working group has now addressed all the LC comments, and the next step is to enter the responses to the tool. Let me know if you need help with that. Thanks for your comments! -Anssi [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-html-media-capture-20120712/
