I don't think that it matters much at this point.  There seems to be
sufficient confusion about both indicators.

To a large extent, this is an implementation concern, but it's
important enough that we need some guidance in the spec.  I was
somewhat hoping that someone (perhaps yourself) would sit down and map
it out, then make a proposal.

If you want to reduce it down, there seem to be three states:

1. not capturing
2. potentially capturing
3. capturing

Where 2 is further divided into
2a. a site with a handle to a source that is not currently going
anywhere or is disabled somehow
2b. a site that has persistent permissions

I'll leave the proposal part to someone else.
