Re: [dap-charter] DASWG: Drop Orientation Sensor in favor of existing APIs (#104)

The Orientation Sensor specification differs from the "existing specifications" in the following ways:

- [x] defines new features [1] that address new use cases [2],
- [x] addresses significant interoperability issues e.g. around sensor fusion [3],
- [x] improves API ergonomics, makes the API consistent with other similar APIs and extensible [4], and
- [x] defines modern privacy and security protections to address known privacy and security threats, and a model that is extensible with additional mitigations [5]

The DAS WG is [commitment](https://www.w3.org/2020/05/proposed-das-wg-charter.html#scope) to **security and privacy focused** and **use case-driven** specification development and believes ceasing this work would be considered harmful.
