The idea behind Web Intents is to have APP A requesting an activity to
be done and APP B doing the requested activity. That means APP B will
have to be able to *do* what is requested. If there is no Sensor API, I
wonder how APP B would be able to do that...

Also, I don't think "GetSomeValue" would be a really appropriate use
cases. Web Intents should stay activities which mean the user will have
to do some action. Here, the value is known by the system, it's all
about retrieving the value, nothing else.
