Given this, I think the best choices would be to either not expose it anywhere on the web or to expose it everywhere on the web (including the Firefox OS browser, and Firefox for desktop and Android. Like I said before, if the pressure to ship prevents us from taking the former position, we should consider enabling it for certified apps only, in the interest of not shipping features to the Web before they're finalized.
