Isn't there an important reason for the permission dialog to _not_ be in the content area? I see no discussion of how this will avoid clickjacking attacks.

Only the button that triggers the dialog is in the content area

    Nope, there’s a modal in the middle of the screen.

      There are no screenshots in the linked article that show a permission modal in the middle of the viewport. The only screenshot with a modal in the viewport is a screenshot of Google Meet today without this, showing how to open the modal to reset permissions.

      The permission modal that's shown intentionally overlaps the line of death, which is exactly the same as it is today

        Oh, sorry, the modal discussion is in the Mozilla position, for example: https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/908

          A ways down in the discussion they note that there's really two parts to the proposal: showing the permission state and triggering the permission dialog, and separately having an in-content permission dialog. The article linked here doesn't seem to touch the second part at all. That's probably wise, and it doesn't mean the proposal is DoA.
