+        Web pages often run more- and less-trusted components as the same origin. For example, a
+        newspaper may run advertising code without sandboxing it into a cross-origin iframe. If the
+        newspaper has a legitimate reason to use a person's location, that also happens to grant
+        access to the less trusted advertiser. Without the {{Permissions/query()}} function in this
+        specification, to read the person's location, an advertisement needs to risk showing a
+        prompt, which exposes it to detection. With this function, the advertisement can silently
+        track just the people who've already granted their location to the newspaper. The UA might
+        provide notice of when permissions are in use on a page which might increase the visibility
+        of abuse.
