           Summary: Expose/lock to the screen orientation angle
           Product: WebAppsWG

The API exposes only the screen orientation name but not the actual angle
compared to the device natural orientation. Knowing that can be useful for
different reasons. For example, in combination with the device orientation
events, it would make possible to write a reliable compass app.

The details are not yet clear but we might want to expose 0/90/180/270 in
something like screen.orientationAngle and maybe allow lockOrientation() to
take those values too.
