shannonbooth left a comment (whatwg/dom#952)

For some extra information that I noticed in  #1391 that this also impacts the specified behaviour for DeviceMotionEvent which is marked `SecureContext` in the IDL definition.

Chromium seems to not expose DeviceMotionEvent in non-SecureContexts  whereas Gecko and WebKit do not seem to implement that.

From testing, it seems that no browser (including Chromium when DeviceMotionEvent is not exposed on window in non secure contexts) currently throws on `document.createEvent('devicemotionevent')`.
