This repo documents a number of proposed HTML elements, whose common goal is to provide secure and user friendly access and control of HTML permissions and their associated capabilities from within a web page.
An HTML permission element for the geolocation feature:
A set of HTML elements to mediate access to a MediaStream. This proposal has been modified and integrated into the Media Capture and Streams Extension specification, chapter Media capture HTML elements. All future work on these elements is expected to occur there.
The originally proposed usermedia element:
- Explainer
- Usermedia Element Specification Draft, meant for inclusion in Media Capture and Streams Extensions (as of spring 2026)
The originally proposed permission element, for any permission. This proposal is no longer pursued.
- Explainer for PEPC
- Permission Element Specification draft (as of Sept 22, 2025)
