Fwd: Transition request: The System Information API as FPWD

This spec could be useful for SVG content, at the moment the spec doesn't  
talk about SVG at all.

Subject: Transition request: The System Information API as FPWD

Hi Philipp,

The Device APIs and Policy Working Group would like to request
publication of a new document as a Working Draft [1].

The document is titled “The System Information API”, with an editors
draft available at:
http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/

Proposed shortname: system-info-api

Abstract
          This specification defines an API to provide Web applications
          with access to various properties of the system which they are
          running on. Specifically, properties pertaining to the device
          hardware are addressed. Examples include battery status, current
          network bandwidth. Additionally, some of those properties offer
          access to the environment around the device, such as ambient
          brightness or atmospheric pressure.


Proposed SOTD
          This section describes the status of this document at the time
          of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document.
          A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of
          this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports
          index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

          This document was published by the Device APIs and Policy
          Working Group as a First Public Working Draft, and represents
          the early consensus of the group on the scope and features of
          the proposed System Information API. Issues and editors note
 in the document highlight some of the points on which the group
 is still working and would particularly like to get feedback.
 Feedback on the scope of the proposed API is particularly
 welcomed.

          If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please
          send them to public-device-apis@w3.org (subscribe, archives).
          All feedback is welcome.

          Publication as a First Public Working Draft does not imply
          endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and
          may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any
          time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than
          work in progress.

          This document was produced by a group operating under the 5
          February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of
          any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables
          of the group; that page also includes instructions for
          disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a
          patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s)
          must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of
          the W3C Patent Policy.

Thanks,

Dom
