Knowing that can be useful for different reasons. For example, in combination with the device orientation events, it would make possible to write a reliable compass app. The details are not yet clear but we might want to expose 0/90/180/270 in something like screen.orientationAngle and maybe allow lockOrientation() to take those values too. 103375 1 mounir 2014-04-03 21:10:40 +0000 The exact change is: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/screen-orientation/rev/d42347e9ab3d But simpler to look at the current specification.
