[sensors] SensorReading.timeStamp could be clarified

mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for

== SensorReading.timeStamp could be clarified ==
For sensor fusion applications, it's important that readings from 
different sensors have comparable timestamps.  The spec may want to 
clarify:

- Whether the timeStamp accounts for latency in delivering the reading
 from the sensor to the user agent.  If different sensors have 
different latencies, it will be hard to compare them.
- Whether the timeStamp corresponds to the time at the end of polling 
interval for a given reading.  (Some sensors may accumulate data for 
the entire polling interval and report an average at the end.)
- Whether the precision and accuracy of the timeStamp needs to be 
considered. For example, if the polling interval is 100 Hz, must the 
timeStamps be exactly 10ms apart?
