Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Navigation Activation Info (Issue #921)

Hi @noamr - thanks for sending this our way. 
  
A couple of initial questions we had after reviewing in today's TAG breakout:
  
1. regarding the naming of the API - it seems like the term "Activation" is a bit overloaded - in particular it's used in the context of user activation which is a completely separate concept. We're concerned this could cause developer confusion. Have you considered any alternatives?
  
2. what's the current state of this with regard to the HTML spec itself?
  
3. the security & privacy responses say that "It exposes information about the most recent cross-document navigation." It's not clear if this means it's exposing additional information that the developer wouldn't have had access to before or if it's information that the developer would have had access to anyway?  In general there is a lack of information in the explainer about potential abuse cases.  It's concerning that this is exposing information about navigation across documents as this could be a potential privacy issue... so I think some additional discussion of this is warranted in the explainer.
