Overall, my goal is that we get specs to CR with at least the minimum functionality that developers need to build effective apps. The one/many spec debate has been had before, and I will remain on the sideline there (ere are valid points on both sides). Agreed. > I'm more concerned that the Sensor APIs contain the essential functionality. I'm not yet convinced that a simple min/max response for the ambient sound/light and proximity sensors will be enough, ie that no information/control of trigger points and event rate is needed. But I can be convinced if someone can explain how a Web developer would deal with such issues in an efficient, cross-platform way in the case that platforms vary widely in these additional aspects. Turn this around Bryan. Explain why you think that trigger points or an event rate is needed. Show, with an example for bonus points :) , how an application would be that much better if such apis exists. My claim is you don't -- you have minimum functionality to build effective apps. Doug
