Good question, it'd definitely be helpful to have an answer. But please don't let that answer hold up feedback to the DAP list [1]. (Don't let perfect be the enemy of good) There's a narrow window in which you can provide feedback asking for big changes, so please provide the feedback about what you've experienced now. * This is slightly different from what I wrote to Marcos [2], because you have the firsthand experience, and I don't want to be a proxy. >2. If it's just Android, does it make sense for Android to just not >implement this spec and not have a battery plugin? No, if there's a serious problem implementing a spec, then that needs to be sent to the spec authors. >I could test out iOS to see if this is also a problem, Please (ideally we'd have someone else volunteer, but, …) > but I'm thinking other people already ran into this by now, right? I suspect people don't actually pay attention to the impact of their code. Certainly that's my experience from dealing w/ web authors. They'll add stuff, determine that things happen, and move onto the next thing. Rarely do people actually verify that their changes haven't had other negative impact. Especially for checklist things, and IMO this is a checklist item.
