Basically yes. You can think of a system where the proximity sensor is always on (in practice we don't do this). When someone registers for an event, there is a state change from unknown->known. We fire this as a proximity event to the registered event listener.

Perhaps we need to force an event for initialization purposes. The sensor is only turned on when there is an event listener. When you add an event listener the event is triggered to allow you to initialize your app's behavior. -- Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org> http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett
