The same webapps/runtime comments apply across the whole specification, 
and the whole of DAP!

In this case, there are scenarios in which the webapp author is 
concerned that his webapp is using too many resources and wants to react 
accordingly (slowing down the frame rate, for instance)

Of course you could simplify things drastically and provide a single API 
that has one attribute that exposes the "system stress", combining CPU, 
thermal, fans, etc. Is that what people expect from a System Information 
API?

Max.
