Re: [w3ctag/spec-reviews] Review of WakeLock API and suitability for overall platform requested by 31 August 2016 (#126)

@triblondon in the jogging application case, I think you shouldn't need to explicitly request a wake lock at all, as you want the device to be woken up on external events vs not going to sleep in the first place. I think this case is best addressed by the API which provides your GPS position, such as [Generic Sensors API](https://github.com/w3c/sensors). In the end, the CPU already needs to wake up to process each sample and decide whether the position has changed beyond your tolerance threshold, so no wake lock should be needed there.
