"normal", or "washed") that matches the CSS light-level MQ and
requires no permission and a low-level, AmbientLightSensor, which has
more fine grained data and requires user permission.
This sounds reasonable, as MQ already provides this functionality.
What will remain is the frequency of changes, which will depend on the
hardware, implementation and the environment.

Understood. So permissions for high-level readout (as we discussed
OOB). Is it possible to disable this functionality at all, or suggest
browser vendors to allow this (using settings)?
And at some point, the raw readout could be phased out?
