Whole section if pretty normative, with must + dedicated algorithm.

We do, it is implemented properly and @pozdnyakov is trying to clean-up spec, so it will be implementable.

> That's an implementation detail. You're encouraged to optimize as long as you meet the requirements.

I don't understand you :) Sometimes you are [worried](https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/198#issuecomment-304275605) about small things that do not affect performance, while you are leaving pretty serious performance issues as 'may' requirement.

> See: https://w3c.github.io/sensors/#equivalent. You should obviously be caching the result of this algorithm and be invalidating the cache as conditions change.

Problem is that algorithm is in a wrong place and does not do what it should do, suspending sensor when data should not be provided.

Could you please reopen #217 and #189. We can specify required operations properly and align with implementation.
