Is there any intent to provide an API for pressure sensors?

Oh, and while we are at it: Humidity probably belongs to the same group.
I haven't added these features to the spec for now, since the use cases
for it aren't that compelling and so it's probably best to wait a while
longer, allowing browser vendors to implement more of the stuff we have
already added.
May I suggest that things like geolocation, temperature, pressure,
humidity, altitude, etc. are all classified as part of a "Environment
API" set?
it should make classification of future tech, as well as
searching/looking up and documenting them a lot easier I hope!
Audio In-Out and Camera/Photo/Video all belong under a umbrella Media
API set after all as well?
