I have offered a possible security model for the prevent-standby API in
browsers. 
And it seems that the SysApps WG is struggling with defining an
alternative interoperable security model, so it's not clear that SysApps
would necessarily be better placed for it; but before discussing on
"where", I think getting input on whether anyone would implement this is
probably more important.
