Re: [deviceorientation] Add API for requesting permission to receive device motion / orientation events (#57)

If the aim is to cripple/disable 3rd party ads/scripts to access sensor data for evil intentions, using Feature Policy seems to be a good way forward.  Has this been considered?  If we want to prevent the main page from accessing sensors, we have to consider how requiring installation of a native app would provide better assurance - if any at all.

In addition, permissions could be granted when installing the web application (to home screen/pwa).  Has this been considered?

If too many features require user approval or flipping switches in the global settings, the effect will most likely disappear (e.g. like most people run as Administrator on Windows as the alternative is just too cumbersome).
