mfoltzgoogle has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api: == Add a PresentationConnection.disconnected state for accidental disconnections == Some interactive applications (e.g., games) may want to pause when the controller has accidentally disconnected. Right now this can only be detected indirectly when a call to `connection.send()` fails - the connection will transition to `closed` and fire an error event. To detect this quickly, the application would likely need some kind of heartbeat mechanism - depending on the channel implementation. This issue tracks whether we want to add back a `disconnected` state so the application can more directly be notified when this happens. This implies the implementation would need to come up with its own heartbeat mechanism under the covers. @sicking, feel free to add more context. See https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api/issues/217
