Re: [sensors] Relation to Permissions API

I don't really have an opinion, here. My involvement with ALS has been limited to rewriting the existing spec to rely on the generic sensor API instead. As far as I'm concerned, all the use cases I've seen don't require more than an light-level inspired enum. Maybe we should drop ALS for now (that is, until we find more conclusive evidence of its need) an release an enum-based, mediaquery-matching `LightLevelSensor` instead.
