The whole point is that the 'dim' and 'bright' modes depends of the screen's minimal/maximal brightness and reflectance, too. While an approximative settings is important, ultimately, switching to a high-contrast layout (either black on white or white on black) may depends on more than just the value in lux returned by the ALS. As such, I agree with Tab that the specification should advertise the fact that the range in which a particular mode is triggered is completely to the discretion of the user agent, which will do so in order to provide the best experience possible to the user.
