No references to accessibility

Inaccessible permissions are a huge issue. They can make people with disabilities less safe, while not even KNOWING they are less safe. I believe it is important to have a section in this document specifically on accessibility cross-linked to the relevant WCAG criteria. Off the top of my mind, that would be labels, meaningful sequence, keyboard interaction, non-graphical descriptions, keyboard focus indicator, and color ratio. There may be a few I missed. Happy to attend a meeting to discuss further. You can reach out to me at [email protected] to schedule that.

Is this a problem with how UAs implement their permission dialogs, or with something about how websites frame their permission requests?

I don't think it makes sense to have the permissions document say something generic like "follow best practices", but if there's a special way that the WCAG (or native accessibility guidelines) apply to permissions that they wouldn't apply to other parts of browser UI, that could make sense to explain here.
