I think the answers to my two earlier questions would help us understand the 
level of buy-in beyond the WebKit community:

- Are any other browser engines planning to implement this? (I couldn't tell 
from looking at the [email protected] archives).
- Is this API useful in any way for users who do not have specialized and 
somewhat uncommon hardware devices?
