> how can we specify an option for doing so?
In the future, we could do something like this instead:
1. Check to see if the sensor exists.
1. If it doesn't, then throw a NotReadableError and abort these steps.
Note User Agents may decide to throw a NotAllowedError here
instead (after random but bounded delay) in order to hide the absence
of the sensor on the device.
1. Prompt the user for permission to access the sensor.
1. If the user grants access, then update readings.
1. Otherwise, throw a NotAllowedError.
> Still, the discussion from above applies.
> Can we offer an optional way of fencing all API calls behind
permissions?
Not sure what you mean. What are you suggesting we do? What are you
intending to accomplish by it?
