Re: [web-bluetooth] What is a secure Device Firmware Update Service?

Blacklisting known services/characteristics could lead to implementors
 bypassing the blacklisted IDs by simply using vendor-defined 
services/characteristics.
This potentially leads to fragmenting the well-known service lists, 
making it less manageable and maybe less secure.

I agree with @gfwilliams, a warning dialog or similar (with relevant 
`here be dragons` and `implementor takes no responsibility` caveats) 
seems to be a better approach which warns the user and doesn't get in 
the way of implementing awesome stuff with Web Bluetooth.

Could a model similar to the android app store be implemented?

e.g.

`This web page would like to access the following services on your 
device:`

* Heart Rate
* DFU (Warning, this could break you)
