Is there really?

The main problem with query as I see it is that since we haven't
agreed on what permissions are keyed on, an application cannot really
do anything with the answer it gets from query. E.g., communicating
the answer with other open tabs and then attempting to use the
permission there is futile for certain permissions. That kind of thing
would only work if they are all origin-keyed, but some are per
session, some are scoped to the top-level browsing context, etc.

(I support not exposing revoke() though. Was there even an intent to
ship for that?)
