Re: [sensors] Malicious use of the phone's Gyroscope

Hello Tobie, thanks for following up.

Looking at the permissions registry at 
https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#permission-registry 
<https://w3c.github.io/permissions/#permission-registry> I see no 
mention of orientation sensors. Are you planning to add an 
“orientation” permission to the registry in the future?

 web pages delivered from insecure origins, as Chrome does for the 
Location API [2].
