            Bug ID: 29577
           Summary: "The screenX attribute must return the x-coordin..."
           Product: CSS
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSSOM View

[[
The screenX attribute must return the x-coordinate, relative to the origin of
the screen of the output device, of the left of the client window as number of
pixels, or zero if there is no such thing.

The screenY attribute must return the y-coordinate, relative to the origin of
the screen of the output device, of the top of the client window as number of
pixels, or zero if there is no such thing.
]]

As a user, I don't feel that webpages have any business knowing where their
window is located on my screen. I would like the spec to allow
privacy-conscious browsers to pretend that all windows are always at the
top-left of the screen, thus plugging this information leak.
