Re: [sensors] Does SensorReading always need a timeStamp ?

This spec exclusively focuses on local MEMS sensors for now, so we're 
looking at monotonic time stamps only as I don't think there are use 
cases for epoch-based timestamps which can't be easily solved with an 
in document conversion. Of course, once we'll move these to service 
workers, considerations will be different, but that's not the only 
thing that'll need to be reconsidered.

I think the key questions here are:

- are there perf reasons to avoid timestamps?
- what do the timestamps in the underlying platform actually measure?
- do those underlying timestamps actually help us meet our use cases?
