While our use-case is definitely possible to implement outside of
WebKit, I think the spec is useful for some kinds of applications. Right
now, that's mainly media-related websites, which could benefit from
access to local music and videos.

Even if this API was only available to privileged apps (locally
installed apps, from the app store for example), it would be a benefit
to app developers, because they wouldn't need to use platform-specific
API's.
