>> From APA, PING and WebAppSec, we hope to get a review from an accessibility, privacy and security perspective of the specification.

>> We particularly call upon the attention of the WebAppSec WG on the proposed approach to manage permissions to use the Wake Lock API, whereby an embedded cross-origin browsing context is never allowed, as described in the first note in section 5.
>> 
>> For both WebAppSec and PING, we note that the group used the self-review questionnaire in the development of this specification:

>> 
>> From WebPlatform and TAG, we hope to get a review of the overall API and its insertion in the rest of the platform.
>> 
>> Since the API extends the Screen interface defined by the CSS WG in the CSSOM View module, the CSS WG might wish to confirm this extension is in-line with the design of the interface.
>> 
>> Likewise, since the API relies on the Page Visibility state defined by the WebPerf WG, that group might wish to comment on the proper usage of that signal.
>> 
>> Reviews from other groups are also naturally welcome.
>> 
>> We would appreciate to receive your feedback before the end of August; the preferred method for feedback is to file issues in our github repository:  https://github.com/w3c/wake-lock/issues ;
>> 
>> alternatively, send a mail to our public mailing list public-device-apis@w3.org with a subject prefixed with [wake-lock].
