Sure, I was under no illusion that anything could be done for the WD 
update right now. This is more of a "going forward" point.

There are laptops that also have motion sensors, not a "mobile" specific 
aspect. Motion could well make up another new "set", together with any 
other "sensors-as-input" aspects not even explored yet in WCAG (e.g. 
light sensors/proximity sensors/camera input).

It may make sense to even split/rename the subgroup accordingly.
