Please change the “â” to an apostrophe here... Or is this Bugzilla
not showing UTF-8 or some other encoding correctly?

It's a bugzilla bug. I simply verbatim-copied the spec abstract :)

I believe we agreed not to expose new WebKitSettings in the API until the associated feature is largely implemented.

Why is a setting needed? This is something that we will want to be off by default (unavailable in Epiphany)? I doubt any applications will know or want to turn it off if it is on by default? I have to trust your judgment here, because I don't know anything about the feature... I just want to make sure it makes sense to add the API. And avoid the situation where we have enable-mediasource and enable-media-stream that have done nothing for the first five years.

If you read the patch you'll see it's off by default.
