If someone has a connection with the windows team it would be interesting to get their take on this. They might not be aware. I would expect it to at least vibrate for 5000 and then not acknowledge anything larger if that is their intent.
> Vibration cancellation - The spec is very explicit about what should cancel a vibrate. Which is either navigator.vibrate(0) or navigator.vibrate([]). So what should navigator.vibrate([0]) do? In Cordova land we also treat navigator.vibrate([0]) as a cancellation.

Out of interest, can you describe how Cordova implements the WebIDL binding requirements for APIs? IIRC, this was one of the biggest sources of interop issues.
