Uses cases and requirements for Orientation API

Hi all,

We are about to start the definition of a new charter for version 2.
Device Orientation will be one the central pieces of the new version
and we should continue the spec writing process. We count on the first
Editor's Draft that Andrei sent at the beginning of March
(http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source-orientation.html) and a
proposal for a Compass API contributed by DAP
(http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/compass.html) so far.

There have already been some discussions around the coordinates and
reference system to use in the spec, units, etc... On the other hand
our first draft is still lacking uses cases and requirements (section
6) and we think that in order to better shape the spec and to have a
criteria to solve the issues that could be raised in the future, we
should start collecting those use cases and requirements.

That's why we ask members and interested people following Geolocation
to contribute uses cases and requirements for section 6 of the spec by
replying to this email.... and I am sure Matt would love not to have
more "pizza delivery" examples ;-)

Please note that the DAP's Compass API proposal contains three use
cases in section 1.2 which could be a starting point:
- Walking Turn-by-turn Route Navigation
- Show the user's Position and Orientation on a Map
- Annotating Content with Orientation and Location information

Thanks and best regards,

Angel
