I was under the impression that no-one was planning on allowing web
pages running inside a browser UI from using the lockOrientation API
at all. Only pages that are running in as "standalone apps" (see the
manifest spec) and *maybe* pages that are in fullscreen.
Are you proposing that lockOrientation("current") should be allowed,
but lockOrientation("anythingelse") should not?
