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

option to use the same terms expressing light levels, even (like in 
media-query).

Yeah. My suggestion is to split this up into `LightLevel` ("dim", 
"normal", or "washed") that matches the CSS light-level MQ and 
requires no permission and a low-level, `AmbientLightSensor`, which 
has more fine grained data and requires user permission.

 ambient light sensors data?

The idea of the extensible Web manifesto, is to give low-level access,
 security/privacy permitting and see what developers use it for. Then 
eventually standardize higher-level APIs and incentivize developers to
 use those.
