Re: [geolocation-sensor] Support geolocation (especially geofencing) in the "background" (#22)

Thank you all for your continued use case contributions! For full transparency, I want to share what the Working Group discussed at its recent F2F: https://www.w3.org/2024/09/24-dap-minutes.html#t22

TL;DR: The group agreed to focus on background geolocation for this specification and not duplicate foreground geolocation functionality provided through the older Geolocation API. The group also acknowledged and thanked everyone for the professional use case contributions in this issue (>60 comments!).

Besides use case contributions, another mechanism to influence browser vendors' feature priorities was brought up:

Browser vendors use the State of HTML survey results as important input into their feature prioritization. As a web developer, you can help by heading over to https://stateofhtml.com/ and taking the survey. For this background geolocation feature specifically, in the "Native-like Web Apps" part of the survey there's a "What are your biggest pain points around making web apps that feel native?" section where you can voice your support for this feature. Thank you! 👍
