Hello WebKit folks,

Since 2018, the W3C Devices and Sensors Working Group has received
significant requests from web developers surrounding the need to increase
the brightness of a device's screen.

Multiple solutions have been proposed in
https://github.com/w3c/screen-wake-lock/blob/gh-pages/brightness-mode-explainer.md
:
- Screen extension: await screen.requestBrightnessIncrease();
- Screen Wake Lock integration: await navigator.wakeLock.request({
increaseBrightness: true });
- navigator.screenBrightness
- and more.

We would really appreciate WebKit's folks reviewing this document and
possibly providing alternative solutions.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Francois.
