[proximity] What's the distance value when the visible surface is beyond the max value?

kaixinjxq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/proximity:

== What's the distance value when the visible surface is beyond the max value? ==
In [previous version](https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-proximity-20150903/), the value is defined between the maximum sensing distance and the minimum sensing distance:
>The current device proximity is a value that represents the proximity of the hosting device to a physical >object (i.e., some value between the maximum sensing distance and the minimum sensing distance).

In [latest spec](https://w3c.github.io/proximity/#proximity-sensor-near), the value isn't limited but there is a sensing range description:
>Note: If the implementation is unable to provide the near value, it could infer the near value from the >value of distance. For example, if distance is not equal to max, it could imply there is an object in the >sensing range.

I want to know when there is no object in the sensing range, what's the distance value?
