Re: [web-bluetooth] Let websites scan for nearby advertisements.

Limiting the scan for a specific period or geographic area would be a 
very limiting specification IMHO. Why not giving control to the user 
which websites have requested permission to scan BLE advertisement and
 allow revoking that permission as they wish. Eddystone/iBeacon 
standards all allow an app to "subscribe" to a class of 
advertisements, so should it work with websites. 
An example: user visits a travel website and reviews about the city of
 Paris. He/she could subscribe to BLE advertisements and provided the 
city of Paris and has beacons through the city, users could subscribe 
to it.
