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

I'm wondering if there are alternatives to simply putting orientation
behind opt-in permissions.

For example, if the spec explicitly states that orientation events 
must be
paused/suspended if the page, tab or browser is in the 'background' 
whether
this could alleviate the security concerns.

If the user must be directly interacting with the target web page and 
not
their bank, phone lock screen or any other service does the security
concern still exist?
