@jhedberg mentions that applications have been able to give a rough distance estimate using _only_ RSSI when TX Power isn't available. This implies that many devices are transmitting at similar powers: maybe we can document that assumed power so people can combine lists sorted by path-loss and by just RSSI. This either seems like a good reason to keep the fields split out, or a reason to use that assumed power in computing the `pathLoss` field. But we'd need to add a marker that the pathLoss is approximate, which argues more toward keeping the fields separate. -- GitHub Notif of comment by jyasskin See https://github.com/WebBluetoothCG/web-bluetooth/issues/76#issuecomment-83727207
