Thanks for requesting review. The APA WG has no comments on this spec. Michael


Hi,

The Devices and Sensors WG plan to publish CR of the Screen Wake Lock
API. Here's the current ED:

    https://w3c.github.io/screen-wake-lock/

This document specifies an API that allows web applications to request a
screen wake lock. Under the right conditions, and if allowed, the screen
wake lock prevents the system from turning off a device's screen.

Changes since the last CR:
https://w3c.github.io/screen-wake-lock/#changes-20171214

I have worked through the FAST Checklist and this specification:

* defines an API
* does not allow visual rendering of content
* does not provide author control over color
* does not provide features to accept user input
* does not provide user interaction features
* does not define document semantics
* does not provide time-based visual media
* does not provide audio
* does not allow text content
* does not create objects that don't have an inherent text
representation
* does not provide visual graphics
* allows time limits (user agents and the underlying OS may time limit a
wake lock given the battery status, or even disallow wake locks in the
case a power saving mode is activated)

Most of the accessibility concerns are tangential to this spec, but if
you do find any issues, please file them at
https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/issues

Thanks,

Fuqiao
