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

In case your thinking that there is a lot of investigation and spec work required here you'd be wrong. Thanks to the foresight of the Service Worker spec writers and the thoroughness of the requirements gatherers, Background GeoLocation can take advantage of SW's inherent plug-n-play [extensibility](https://www.w3.org/TR/service-workers-1/#extensibility)

Just copy & paste what was done with Notifications and we're there!

Can someone honestly tell me why the Web is not providing this???

I am happy to address **_any_** concerns or perceived problems. IMHO the only work left is: -
- Decide on appropriate permissions protocol for acceptance and tracking discovery/visibility.
- Decide whether you call it a TravelManager or a LocationManager or a.n.other
- Decide whether the TravelEvent parameter is just the position object or is overloaded

What else is there?

Web Apps can now compete directly on a much more even playing field with Native Apps. Is that not the goal? Let's cheer from the roof tops?
