[i18n-activity] suggest alternative text for description of GeolocationPositionError.message attribute (#941)

himorin has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== suggest alternative text for description of GeolocationPositionError.message attribute ==
Geolocation API / GeolocationPositionError interface 
https://w3c.github.io/geolocation-api/#position_error_interface

> The message attribute MUST return an error message describing the details of the error encountered. This attribute is primarily intended for debugging and developers SHOULD NOT use it directly in their application user interface.

This description specifies that this attribute is for developers but never for other use including paste onto user interface. Some points were raised during [call](https://www.w3.org/2020/07/02-i18n-minutes.html#item05):

- maybe they meant "an error message indicating the details" rather than "an error message describing the details" 
- the word "primarily" could lead to have secondary purpose

Proposal:

> The message attribute MUST return an error message indicating the details of the error encountered and informed by `code` attribute. This attribute is intended for debugging and developers SHOULD NOT use it directly in their application user interface.
