Bug 271099 – Remove non-standard `DeviceOrientationEvent.initDeviceOrientationEvent`

• Status: NEW
• Component: DOM

Hi Team,

Similar to bug 271098 (in this Blink commit is referrenced, which removed it as part of other init* in 2017), it is not in Web Specification anymore.

Web Spec: https://w3c.github.io/deviceorientation/#deviceorientation

WebKit Source: https://searchfox.org/wubkat/rev/e6b945d8d215583ba34dffcc8f93a0c1c2662c0b/Source/WebCore/dom/DeviceOrientationEvent.idl#51

I think we might have to also expose `absolute` to iOS and I am not sure why we are restricting it to non-iOS platform (Privacy?).

Also not sure about these two (for iOS Compass app?):

    [ImplementedAs=compassHeading] readonly attribute unrestricted double? webkitCompassHeading;
    [ImplementedAs=compassAccuracy] readonly attribute unrestricted double? webkitCompassAccuracy;

__

Just wanted to raise so we can fix and align on web-spec at least on this removal part for other `absolute` etc., good to get opinion but will be good to fix them separately.

CCing @Anne - for his input.

Thanks!
