Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-mediaqueries-5] Privacy considerations. (#3488)

Ah! Thanks. I missed that note entirely.

I think it would be helpful to spell out the risk in a little more detail. The text in level 4 is pretty high-level and while I think I agree with the assertion that the risk is generally low (especially in light of every other way the platform reveals detail about the user's environment), I'd suggest pointing out the ways in which the level 5 queries are _user_-specific, rather than _device_-specific. They really do seem different in kind, given their relation to the way a user configures their computer (dark mode or accessibility features), rather than aspects of the computer itself (`aspect-ratio`, `width`, `height`, etc).

It also seems that the answer to "access to sensors" would change, given the ambient light query?
