Thanks for catching, I'll fix this.

> I think this documentation could be slightly more clear about what kind of gesture is required to start playback. For instance, if I turn this on, what will I need to do to trigger playback? Mouse over the page? Mouse over the element itself? Click on the element?

>From « LayoutTests/media/video-play-require-user-gesture.html », I understand it typically involves clicking on the Play button, but probably other gestures could be required.

I guess I can make the documentation read something like:

« Whether a user gesture (typically clicking on the play button) would be required to start media playback or load media... »

What do you think? I'll use the same description for the WK2 patch.
