 The presentation API allows web content to use external presentation-type
 displays. It comes with own discovery mechanisms (libmdns) and is supposed
 to be available on desktop and on mobile in the near future
 (https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/PresentationAPI). This is a pretty
 complex beast and we have to make sure that it poses no risk (be into
 proxy bypass or fingerinting/tracking) to our users.
