[orientation-sensor] Head orientation tracking (#68)

anssiko has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/orientation-sensor:

== Head orientation tracking ==
User’s head orientation information is exposed through platform APIs using sensors built into the mainstream headphones of today. See e.g. [CMHeadphoneMotionManager](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coremotion/cmheadphonemotionmanager).

Are there valid head orientation tracking use case for the web? I opened this issue to gather perspectives on this topic.

The [Orientation Sensor](https://w3c.github.io/orientation-sensor/) is designed with [extensibility](https://w3c.github.io/sensors/#extensibility) in mind and as such would be a natural fit if the [Devices and Sensors Working Group](https://www.w3.org/das/) decides to advance with this proposal.

Given the group’s focus on privacy, also this feature would be carefully scrutinized for privacy considerations that differ from those of the sensors built into the devices not attached to the user’s head such as phones, tablets, and laptops. Given the WebXR Device API exposes [poses](https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr/#pose) through interfaces specialized for XR, we should carefully assess any considerations from that body of work as well.
