Hello, I am sorry if this was discussed before but I was looking at the Capture API FPWD and noticed that there is a section called "Capture Input Selection" http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/FPWD.html#formaccess which shows that most of the functionality provided by the Capture API can also be achieved using APIs that already exist in the Web platform (i.e. <input>, File, <video>, etc). However, the spec does not have any discussion about the reasoning behind adding a new API to do something that is already possible. Since, to me at least, the reasons for doing this are not completely obvious, I was wondering if it's worth reconsidering the API or adding a note discussing the advantages over using existing APIs. Many thanks, Andrei
