Re: [magnetometer] Request for Magnetometer web developer feedback (#59)

@Zibri thanks for your interest toward this API. What are your specific use cases that need at least 60 updates per second?

As you probably noticed, the maximum sampling frequency is limited to mitigate possible threats discussed in https://www.w3.org/TR/magnetometer/#security-and-privacy This API needs to strike a balance between functionality, privacy and security. Strong real-world use cases would help motivate work on solutions that'd allow relaxing this limitation while preserving the privacy and security characteristics of the API.

You can read more about security and privacy considerations for sensor APIs in general
at https://www.w3.org/TR/generic-sensor/#security-and-privacy

Looking forward to your use case contributions!
