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. I'm happy with this solution, and Jonas's arguments make a lot of sense. I would just like to make sure that we all agree that this is different from "ISSUE-113: AddEventListener in Battery Status has side effects" [0]. We closed that issue because Battery ended up using a different design for which the problem did no manifest, but we didn't reach consensus on whether this was a good thing or not. If it's not different and the same issue applies here, the "right" thing to do would be to prod those who thought it a bad design (Anne comes to mind) so that they may voice their concerns.
