Re: [ambient-light] What illuminance value should be reported for stopped sensor?

That's not a term that's exposed to developers, and it's defined in 
the spec. But I'm happy to change if you find it confusing.

No, I meant sensor.read() as a way to access the latest reading 
instead of `Sensor.reading` as @alexshalamov brought up some potential
 developer confusion about the behavior of `Sensor.reading`. Note I'm 
not advocating this particular change, or any change at all, just 
using `.read()` as a way to start the conversation, like I could have 
used: `sensor.getLatestReading();`
