The design is wrong and ill-fitting for JavaScript programs. Dispatching events to an irrelevant global object is a sloppy and misguided approach that will fail hard once there is more then on of any sensor type. FWIW, I also agree with Rick - the design is not great (or not as nice as it could be). I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to change these designs around in a rapid manner (or have implementations already shipped?). -- Marcos Caceres
