RE: Standby API Specification Proposal

Yes the proposal is different, but the proposal is dependent on the underlying platform being able to detect an idle user and offering the developer the ability to throttle the standby.  I think it is related from that perspective.  

But that isn't the only reason to shift such a discussion to the SysApps WG.  I am not sure at this point this kind of API can be offered under the current browser security model - it may be something that is more suitable for an installable web application.

I did notice the "Idle API" in
http://www.w3.org/2012/09/sysapps-wg-charter.html 

I agree it might be similar to what Anssi was alluding to, but taken from the reverse perspective.

It certainly seems quite different from the prevent-standby proposal though.
