The Security and privacy considerations section reads like this: [intro] [paragraph saying the web page gets new information users would normally consider confidential] [details about the type of new information that is now exposed] [discussion about how this can be used to profile/bucket/fingerprint/track the user] [suggestion that UAs may degrade things for these reasons]
Beyond these considerations, the working group believes that this specification: Does not expose personally-identifiable information. ... Does not expose any other data to an origin that it doesnβt currently have access to. ... Does not allow an origin access to other devices. Isn't that a bit disingenuous? Like saying I was convicted of a crime in 1999, but other than that I have never been convicted of a crime? I don't have a github issue for this. I don't have substantive concerns with the security/privacy sections, I just think editorially it's almost misleading. -tom On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 2:38 AM L.
