Re: [w3c/screen-orientation] "natural" is ambiguous (Issue #275)

LJWatson left a comment (w3c/screen-orientation#275)

We could change the definition in 2.1 to something like:
>Natural: The reference orientation for the device's display, from which orientation angles are measured, as determined by the user agent, the user, the operating system, or the screen itself. For example, a computer monitor's reference orientation is typically landscape-primary whilst the reference orientation for a mobile phone is typically portrait-primary.

As an aside, if we do this I'd suggest using "typically" rather than "commonly". It's perhaps a bit pedantic, but I think "typically" is clearer.

The thing that will be difficult to change will be the OrientationLockType "natural", since that'd require implementation changes which are not easily made. CC @marcoscaceres?

So I think the best bet is to change the definitions and wording where we can, without changing the name of the "natural" value?

@jcayzac would that be an improvement?
