Description

Based on doc, this feature spec'ed by W3C (http://bit.ly/YsZwEV) is missing from the network.connection API. The "change" event should fire when there is a change in the type of available connection. These events are likely more important than online/offline with ubiquitous network connections available. Use case: should my app sync data now, or cache and wait until in WiFi environment? (Caveat: event is poorly named, & overlaps "change" event that fires on form controls.)
