Please note that varying vibration strength may be beyond the goals of this specification. The introduction states:

"The API is specifically designed to address use cases that require simple tactile feedback only. Use cases requiring more fine-grained control are out of scope for this specification. This API is not meant to be used as a generic notification mechanism. "

It seems that varying strength is a complication that is not needed to provide 'simple tactile feedback. What is the use case for adding vibration strength and which implementations would support this?

Why the Vibration API http://www.w3.org/TR/vibration/ does not have such a thing as strength (weaker/stronger)? I think it is an important thing to add.
