[SysInfo API] Proposing an alternative to the SystemDevice interface

Dear all,

The interface 'SystemDevice' seems to be a bit underspecified. Particularly you say that the info field can be used to hold free-form info such as the name of the manufacturer. I think that it is not a good idea and that such a field might turn into some kind of hotchpotch.

A better API would allow to obtain for instance vendor information using something like

var batteries = navigator. system.get("Power")

foreach battery in batteries
             alert(battery.get("vendor"))

i.e. each component, aspect instance, might be enqueried about its properties, including common ones such as vendor, model, version, etc.
