The controls attribute will have the UA render default media controls for the media element [1]. If a media element with controls set is remoted, the spec might want to note that the default controls should be updated accordingly for the remote case (i.e. the attribute is still respected even in remote mode), and possibly give an implementation suggestion like using a poster image in place of the rendered <video>.

This issue is related to Issue #46.

See related discussion at TPAC

Main takeaway is to add a note to recommend that controls should convey the fact that the playback happens remotely. Also discussion suggests to make explicit that local playback of a video that gets remoted should be paused.
