Re: [patwg-charter] jwrosewell: "across multiple devices and browsers" (#7)

I'm unclear (apologies if this was clearer when in gdoc) whether this is about removing the clarification that this includes non-browser agents or about adding the clarification that it means dealing with user agents across multiple devices. The "and browsers" part seems entirely superfluous since we're already talking about user agents plural, but the cross-device aspect is not currently explicit in the current text.

I'd be -1 to removing the current clarification, because it goes beyond at least my understanding of the [definition of user agent](https://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/#def-user-agent) in UAAG. (Which is probably the thing someone would find if they were looking for a definition.) However the text as it stands is a bit odd, because it moves from "user agents" to "agents" in order to get there and could perhaps be more explicit to achieve that. I'm in favour of the scope it establishes.

I'd be +0 for being explicit about multiple devices. It comes after the statement in the previous paragraph which puts privacy guarantees in the purpose, so I don't think it opens up a space we definitely don't want to consider. It is implied (at least for me) in the "may consider" statement as it stands.
