Re: Battery Status Event Spec

Hi,

The Editor's Draft of the Battery Status Event Specification is at:

  http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/battery-status.html

It builds on the initial draft [1] and addresses or takes a note of the issues identified so far [2]. All feedback is welcome.

Below I address the comments received so far (thanks!). The proposed changes have been baked in to the Editor's Draft.

I think that it should be optional (I don't think that all platforms support it) but that it should be exposed if available as it is even harder for an application to evaluate it than it is for the system.


timeRemaining is now optional i.e. nullable.

Added the SHOULDs.
