Can the browser unpause a frame that script paused?

It's not clear from the explainer whether the UA can unpause something that was paused from script.

So at the moment, no. The browser intervention would not unpause a frame paused by script.

I'd be interested in hearing use cases where this could be useful.

See https://github.com/jkarlin/pause-frame/issues/14 for use cases.

Interesting. My inclination is to say no and that we can add that ability later if it comes to that. What're your thoughts?

I think if we think we'll want to add it later, we should think about how that would work when doing the initial design.
