Thanks, Mathias.

Officially, no. It has been quite a while since we last asked them
though.

See the discussion with Mozilla here:
- https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/35
and their corresponding standards position here:
- https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#generic-sensor

WebKit didn't have a standards position tracker back then, but they did
comment on the Mozilla issue above:
- 
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/35#issuecomment-718365969

We've been trying to address the concerns in the Devices and Sensors WG
over the years and this will probably come up in some form at TPAC as
well.

With that said...

I have not asked them given the above (and Apple is not part of the WG,
so it's also hard to ask for feedback on any specifics of the new text).
Personally, I'd like to do a few things before discussing this API with
WebKit and Mozilla again:
- Land these automation changes to remove the semi-dependency on Mojo
  from the web tests so that it's a lot easier for other implementations
  to test their code.
- Sort out any permission-related issues the spec might have (although
  this is more of an implementation issue, with the Generic Sensors and
  Device Orientation APIs in Blink not asking for permission by default
  at the moment).
- Figure out if the Device Orientation spec (which all engines
  implement) itself needs to be more tightly coupled with the Generic
  Sensor API, at least for automation, for it to be testable in an
  interoperable way.
