Re: [web-bluetooth] Beacon Broadcast Support

Being able to configure a device to advertise in peripheral mode via a
 web page would open up a whole world of opportunities ( @kevinahuber:
 that's what you describe, isn't it?):
Possible use case:
- People in a train station looking for a ticket could get informed 
that there are others with the same destination nearby and be 
suggested to get a group ticket.
- While reading an online article in a cafe the user could get asked 
if she wants to broadcast what she's reading to find similar minded 
folks.

Assumed there will be more and more devices be able to act in 
peripheral mode in the near future

 spam could get a real issue though.

But the sound of webbluetooth + instant apps + the physical web is 
quite promising :)

@jyasskin: Do you guys may already have a roadmap for implementation?
