Re: [ambient-light] Security and privacy considerations for Ambient Light Events

One of the strategies I've been thinking about to mitigate such risks 
was to incentive developers to use coarser sensor readings (e.g. for 
the case of ambient light, picked up on the [CSS light level 
media-query][1], so one of `"dim"`, `"normal"`,  or `"washed"`) by 
making those available _without_ prompting.

I'd be interested to have your thoughts on this proposal for sensors 
in general and the risk it might cause (notably by making 
fingerprinting easier).
