Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] User Idle Detection (#336)

- Should this be event based instead of observer based? Check our design principles https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/#events-vs-observers
- Should events be delivered to tabs in the background - I think they should, as my Hangouts and Slack tabs are seldom in foreground and people still want to know whether I am idle or not
- Are events restricted to top-frame and https? - they should be
- To reduce multiple sites identifying me as the same person due to the time I idle, it might be possible to introduce some fuzziness between reporting to the various observers
- For IM, users usually want to know if a user is available to know whether they can expect a response or not - but often people in meetings/busy cannot respond - maybe we need a API for sites to report business and these should be tied together

@lknik any more feedback
