* Wrap this feature through the privacy note in a `<section id="application-context-media-feature">` and close it before `#priv-sec`, rather than placing the id on a bare heading. Every neighboring top-level heading is contained by a section (`index.html:2933-2936` and `index.html:3274-3277`); this block currently falls outside the document's established semantic section structure.

The normative definition enumerates keywords but never classifies the feature as discrete, even though that classification determines that range/min/max syntax is invalid. Explicitly declaring the range type avoids leaving implementations to infer part of the media-feature grammar.

+      <p>
+        This media feature does not expose information that authors could not
+        already infer. The <a data-xref-type="css-descriptor" data-xref-for=
+        "@media">`display-mode`</a> media feature already reveals the
+        application context most of the time, since the [=display
+        mode/standalone=] and [=display mode/minimal-ui=] display modes only
+        occur within an [=application context=]. This feature makes that signal
+        explicit and reliable, rather than something authors reconstruct
+        imperfectly from `display-mode`.
+      </p>
+    </aside>

The assertion that no previously unavailable information is exposed contradicts both the following “most of the time” qualification and the feature's purpose: in an application context using `fullscreen` or `browser`, `display-mode` does not identify the context, while this feature does. The privacy assessment should acknowledge that additional observation rather than claiming there is no new exposure.
