All that aside I agree with @akshayku and @idamlaj that optional user presence seems dangerous, but I could be convinced if there's a concrete use case. The one I've heard so far is to enable a "heartbeat" polling mechanism to detect if the user unplugs the authenticator; is that the main one being considered?
