Re: [ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

I hate to make this a point of jurisdiction, but I think that this is a discussion that needs to be had in the geolocation working group.  Thanks to @RichardMaher for bringing it to their (and my) attention.

This is a topic that has come up in the past and I think that I myself proposed that a single request for location was a fine thing.  We did discuss the subject at some length.

I'm very nervous when someone saves their hands when it comes to the privacy story.  The web has thus far had a great accountability story and adding the ability to track someone when they aren't visiting your site is one capability that could easily undermine all the good work we've done.  I'd want to see a clear plan for how a user is able to remain in control to be even remotely comfortable that `watchPosition` could be exposed.
