Re: [deviceorientation] Interval seems confusing (#185)

I've always interpreted `interval` as a promise to fire the event at a particular implementation-defined rate. That is, `timestamp` tells you when the event was generated and `interval` tells you when to expect the next one. This is important for motion events because they represent rates of change.

Note that `devicemotion` events are fired at a fixed interval while `deviceorientation` events (which represent a position rather than a change in position) fire whenever there is significant change.
