RE: Proposal to add unit quaternion representation to the Device Orientation event.

Having heard no objections, I am going to ask Tim/Rich in their capacity as Editors of the DeviceOrientation spec to create an ED with the quarternion proposal incorporated.  

Note that Mounir has posted to the public-fx list a suggestion to incorporate this into the Geometry specification:  see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-fx/2014JulSep/0076.html.  Thanks for Mounir for doing this.  If this feature is incorporated into the Geometry spec, the editors can adjust the DeviceOrientation specification accordingly.

Thanks,

-Giri

Hi Mounir,
It just went to Last Call:  http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-geometry-1-20140626/.  I wonder if we bring this in at this point.

One possibility is to suggest this as a change to the Geometry I/F Module Level 1 spec prior to the August 7 deadline for LC comments, and go ahead and list the quaternion interface in DeviceOrientation until it is adopted in the Geometry I/F.

Does anyone else have opinions on Mounir's suggestion?

Giri, should we investigate adding this to http://dev.w3.org/fxtf/geometry/ ?
