Hello,

I am wondering if the sole possibility of a sensor detection isn't expanding identifier/fingerprinting surface.

For example, one system can have a (geolocationSensor, proximitySensor,tirePressureSensor) and another can have a different set of sensors.

Let's just document it and add the following to the security/privacy considerations:

"Ability to detect a full working set of sensors on a device can form an identifier and could be used to fingerprinting"
