Specification

https://github.com/WICG/document-picture-in-picture/pull/117

Summary

This makes user activations in a document picture-in-picture window usable inside its opener window. This makes it more ergonomic to use user-activation-gated APIs, since often event handlers in the document picture-in-picture window are actually run in the opener's context, so the opener's context needs access to the user gesture.

Motivation

This makes it more ergonomic to use user-activation-gated APIs in document picture-in-picture, since often event handlers in the document picture-in-picture window are actually run in the opener's context, so the opener's context needs access to the user gesture.
