  Target Milestone: ---

Security:

* Scrolling APIs might be used in e.g. for clickjacking.
* Moving and resizing windows might be used e.g. to emulate a native platform
dialog.
* The "supported open() feature name" is more limited in the spec than it is in
implementations; wider support to hide various parts of the UI might be used
e.g. to emulate a native platform dialog.
* Failure to implement same-origin restrictions for scrolling APIs ...
* Failure to implement #allowed-to-resize-and-move restrictions for moving and
resizing windows ...
* ...?

Privacy:

* Fingerprinting.
* Exposure to JS when the user's environment changes via e.g. MediaQueryList
(c.f. 'orientation', 'light-level', etc.)
* ...?
