Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

I see merit in that strategy. Maybe this is a great opportunity for Firefox to finally secure a mobile presence by being the only browser to ship Background Geolocation, and do it in conjunction with specification development?

Shadow DOM also seems to have been developed that way with v1.0 and SLOT input from Apple.

But, once again, Background Geolocation is not a departure from the norm or a seminal moment in Web evolution. It is just using the tools and infrastructure already in place thanks to the specification giants that have gone before us. Service Worker Extensibility is there! Permissions are (almost) there! All that's left to argue about is nomenclature.

We need the UA or other omnipresent daemon (which currently exists to support push notifications) to watch location changes and deliver TravelEvents to and existing SW or instantiate a fresh one. Sorry but I just don't see 3 years work in that!
