Re: [web-nfc] How much needs to be hidden from pages that lose focus during NFC operations?

Pasting the context here.

Problem:
> jyasskin: This looks like an information leak: while the page is in 
the background, it learns the instant an NFC radio comes nearby. 
Instead, maybe just ignore any nearby devices until the page is 
focused again?

Reply:
> zolkis: In order to set up a watch, the page needs to get 
permission, and they do get a Promise. Then we need to respect the 
functionality: if the page is put in the background, there needs to be
 a feedback why the expected functionality (data transfer) does not 
happen. We can create an issue (i.e. needs more discussion) if you 
think this is not a good policy.
