Re: [webauthn] Location Extension and privacy

I would agree that we should add this explicitly.

Thanks!!

Subject: [w3c/webauthn] Location Extension and privacy (#208)


8.5: The Location Extension seems to conflict with privacy constraints
 in mobile operating systems, where a user can allow location 
information to each application. How do we allow the user to give 
consent to each RPID separately to access location data?
@vijaybh<https://github.com/vijaybh>: Managing this is left up to the 
clients. Clients can strip this extension from sites that do not have 
permissions to location data.

I suggest to add Vijay's solution explicitly, e.g.: In many cases 
operating systems prevent applications from accessing the user's 
location information. If this is the case, the client MUST NOT forward
 this extension to the authenticator.
