The example is that given in the GitHub issue: a button that calls the lock() method to lock the orientation when the user presses it. > https://www.w3.org/TR/screen-orientation/ But it's not locked irreversibly. The user can still unlock it, no? It's an active choice the user can take. So does the language need to explicitly say something along the lines of "Don't lock the content orientation, unless a mechanism is available for the user to unlock it or to explicitly set/change orientation, or if a particular orientation is essential..." ?
