Summary of the Pull Request

This is supposed to be a quick and dirty spec to socialize the various different options for Broadcast Input mode with the team. Hopefully we can come up with a big-picture design for the feature, so we can unblock #9222.

Abstract

With a viable prototype in #9222, it's important that we have a well-defined
plan for how we want this feature to be exposed before merging that PR. This
spec is intended to be a lighter-than-usual spec to build consensus on the
design of how the actions should be expressed.

...

Fortunately: All these proposals actually use the same set of actions. So
it doesn't really matter which we pick right now. We can unblock #9222 as
the implementation of the "tab" scope, and address other scopes in the future.
We should still decide long-term which of these we'd like, but the actions seem
universal.
