Hi,
   The user context draft exposes properties for obtaining the name and 
version information relating to both screen reader and magnifier 
software that a user may be using.  Although the spec attempts to 
consider privacy issues relating to these, what is the actual use case 
for exposing this potentially sensitive information at all?
